Hello, Charlotte -
Are you perhaps trying to find a sale or insurance valuation for your poster? Or, do you wish to know more about the Nicholas & Lefever firearms company? Or more about their breech loading shotguns?
Fixya.com, a website intended for asking and answering questions on how to go about REPAIRING THINGS, probably is not the best website for your question. Plus, your question landed in the Fixya category for Optics - nothing to do with advertising posters. :)
I did find what I think is a duplicate of your poster for sale on the eBay United Kingdom web site:

The size of the poster seems to be a reprint (reprint made in 1971) of what may be either a full-page newspaper advertisement or a full-page magazine advertisement. The selling price from the eBay page is $45.00 Australian dollars / £25.25 (equivalent of $35.40 - $35.24, US dollars; Source or currency conversion:

Apparently the firearms company Nicholas & Lefever, Syracuse, New York, existed from 1876-1879.

If you wish to know more about the company and their firearms, the Onondaga (County) Historical Association, Syracuse, New York may be able to provide you with more information on the company.

If you cannot visit the Onondaga Historical Assoc. Research Center yourself, there is a charge for their research. See:

Best wishes.

Yes you can, those old shotguns were pretty much all the same, a lot of the parts interchange, but go to gunparts.com, they have everything there, if not, find Jackfirst, He has a ton of stuff. I have the same gun right here that was my fathers, bought in 1913 for $13, almost 100 years old!!!
