Produced in the early 20th century, was known for its solid construction, durability, and elegant design. As part of Lefever Arms' lineup, the DS Grade was a well-regarded model in the boxlock category, combining fine craftsmanship with reliable performance. It featured a simple yet effective design with a boxlock action, making it popular among hunters for upland bird and small game hunting.
