Cool, this is a classic Lesser! I've always enjoyed this one, though I personally would chalk up Lesser's anecdote about it to faulty memory. His sophisticated 'McGinnis' style as this one exhibits, developed between 1960 and 1962. As you can see with my Western he did in 1958, although it's nice and well done, it doesn't exhibit any of the interchangeable McGinnis/Lesser characteristics, and that makes sense given that it was likely his first cover. But I would be more likely to believe that Lesser's memory is a slightly mistaken version of reality. Meaning that this might have been the first one that he did in the McGinnis style to try to show publishers and be able to say "Hey, if that's what you guys want, I can do that too!". Either way, we'll never know for sure and it's a really neat piece to have.
