Re: Value of a Grade B/C 12 Ga.

aspeck, nice of you to share the card. tjw Well, so many of you gave so much good information and were interested in the grade verses the engraving that I figured you deserved to see what I saw. It is a shame it was refinished, but it is still a very good looking gun. Now to see what the owner want...

Re: Value of a Grade B/C 12 Ga.

To answer your original question, what is value of my gun. The gun is a very interesting special ordered Fox but it suffers greatly from a poor refinish (as opposed to professional restoration in my opinion). So most collector interest is greatly reduced, it is an interesting shooter. Realistically...

Re: Value of a Grade B/C 12 Ga.

I have shared a very wide ball park with my friend, but I am waiting for the confirmation of membership to apply for the card on the gun. That will help me know what value to shoot for. Sure do appreciate everyone's help. Just got back from Ghana in time to vote. Now bed time!

Re: Value of a Grade B/C 12 Ga.

Thanks. If I could afford it, I would. I am hoping she keeps it, but want her to be well informed in whatever she decides. The gun is tight ... there is no wiggle at all in the breech or the forearm. I have trouble believing it is a 100 plus year old gun! I am half it's age and not in nearly as good...

Value of a Grade B/C 12 Ga.

I have been doing research and have found many interesting things about Fox SxS's, but this particular gun also has me confu...
