Re: Cheek Checkering for an A Grade
Thank you for sharing this information with me. Looks like I may have two A grade Fox guns from two different periods, 25 years apart, put together to make one A grade gun. It also appears that there are some A grades out there with, what looks like B grade, checkering on the cheeks. So I don’t have...

Re: Cheek Checkering for an A Grade
Interesting! So based on these pictures, the 3 point checkering pattern that also extended down to followed the profile of the prince of wales grip, was evident on a Utica, NY gun. So that means that my gun has action/barrels from Philly (1915), a replacement fore-end with a serial number from 1940 ...

Cheek Checkering for an A Grade
Hi Gentlemen, I am restoring a 1915 Fox A grade which at some point required a pin in the stock cheeks to repair a crack in the tang. The pin is hidden behind some wooden spacers. It is pretty obvious that the spacers are there on each side. To me, the simplest way to help this lady keep her makeup ...

Re: Scout - French Brittany Spaniel Pointer
I wasn’t sure. I did a google search on hypoallergenic hunting dog breeds. It would appear that poodle pointers, wire haired pointing griffons and German long haired points let most every article. Too bad Brittanys didn’t make the list.

Re: Scout - French Brittany Spaniel Pointer
A French Brittany and a French Brittany ‘Spaniel’ are the same dog. As I understand it, French Brittany Spaniels were originally imported from France in the 1930’s to the US. Importation stopped due to WWII and didn’t really start up again until 30 or so years ago. In the mean time, the Brittanys th...

Re: A.H. Fox Collectors Assoc. Hats, shirts, pins, etc.
Thanks Stan.
I don’t seem to be able to find any mention of these things on the website, nor in the quarterly journal I receive in the mail. It wouldn’t be the first time I have missed something like this, though.

Re: Scout - French Brittany Spaniel Pointer
Thanks for asking. He has a lot of power for his size and more than I expected. French Brittany Spaniels (Epagneul Breton) are the smallest pointing breed and the only Spaniel that points. Male standard height is 19-20 inches and weight 30-40 lbs. He is now 35 lbs and 19 inches at the withers. I exp...

Scout - French Brittany Spaniel Pointer
Pics of my 5 1/2 month old French Brittany Spaniel puppy, “Scout” pointing while on a trip to visit our daughter and her family in Utah last month. My first bird dog and he has been so much fun!
