The value of a Lefever Uncle Dan grade shotgun can vary significantly based on its condition, age, and specific features. Generally, prices can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Factors such as original finishes, rarity, and provenance also impact the value. For an accurate appraisal, consulting a firearms expert or a recent auction for similar models is recommended.

Requires professional appraisal.
The best that I can do is say that the Lefever Nitro special was made from 1921-1948.
big buts and you can not lie
You need the services of an appraiser
"Uncle Dan" Lefever started making shotguns in Syracuse, NY, in 1885. In 1916 the company was sold to Ithaca, but the Lefever product line was continued until 1948. Approximately 72,000 guns were produced before the Ithaca takeover, so yours should be one of the last "real" Lefevers. I don't know how "fairly good shape" translates to an NRA condition, but if it is fully functional, may have minor parts replaced or repaired, and has 80% or the original finish on all wood and metal parts, it would be NRA Good. The Blue Book value for a DS grade in 80% condition is $850. There is a 50% premium for the 16 gauge and you can add another 10% if it has a single selective trigger.
