It was made in 1927. I'll try to post a picture before too long. I don't think I've ever seen another one. Anyone out there have one?

Will you e-mail it serial number at wsnyder@pinehurst.net. I have some remaining records and would love to try to look it up. I will soon be attempting an article for the DGJ of the Lefever family of guns. The story of the model 4 will be in the next issue(I think).

Mine is blued. By reading the advertisement you posted above, it appears the frames on the Model 2s were scaled for the different gauges.

I have seen both blue and cyanide colored frames. Mine is a late gun, 23 thousand something. Don't know when the color started but perhaps with morer input, we can narrow it down. Problem is finding high condition examples.
