Fox Collectors

It's got a 12ga serial number, and looks like a 12ga to me..... DOM of 1931, according to this. https://www.doublegunshop.com/dgsnos1.htm I'd take it to a reputable gunsmith, get it all checked out then take it hunting, or shooting clays. Looks to be in excellent shape, and I do love a 30" 12g...

Hey everyone I know its been almost a year since I last posted, for which I apologize. I very much appreciate the help I was given and wasn't trying to argue as much as reconcile what I was seeing with what I was being told...like telling me the sky was green. I still have not found - though I recen...

Looking further at the AH FOX website under the Grading, I find that the "HE", '27 Sterlingworth, "Wildfowl", and "Flat side style" appear to most mirror what I have. Is this how grading is done or am I doing it incorrectly?

So The Oval/SP proof marks isn't a "Grade" mark it's just a mark of authenticity? How do I know what my grade is then? I'll try to get further pics tomorrow showing the difference in chambering of the different shells. None are handloads, all just standard off the shelf loads. Just trying ...

I guess I'll find a Smith and figure it out exactly, it's very weird indeed, especially with what i was told and what 2as on dad's paperwork as well as the low serial number. Researcher I saw you had posted an exact copy with similar numbers before, that wasnt a 16?

The SP was only made in 12ga? How would I figure out what year we're talking about? I've not tried shooting it, but merely atfempting to chamber 2 3/4" factory winchester 16ga (#9 maybe?), and run of the mill "OO" buck 2 3/4" 12ga for a simple chamber test. Don't have 20ga either...

The shells will not chamber at all unless its a 16ga.

Any idea on year of manufacture?

Hey all I'm new. First of all I apologize both for the long post and the inevitable failure in proper terminology; I am not well versed in older guns. I was left a Fox Sterlingworth SxS by my dad who purchased it back in the mid '90s from an older gentleman client of his, to help with his estate sal...
