Most people are aware of the Winchester 1887/1901 lever-action shotguns, but there exists another lever-action shotgun: the Kessler Levermatic (there is also at least one other - the Larson Whitner). After a short production run of Levermatic shotguns and rifles of similar design, Marlin bought the rights and patents to the design, which came to be the Marlin Levermatic.
