So it looks like "Jolly Bill" has an early A that has the same flourishes on the trigger plate that sn200029 has, but Bill's does not have it elsewhere. That they used the same flourishes seems to give creedence to the engraving on 200029 being a factory variation. There is something diffe...

Eightbore, I am well aware of the talent of engravers. I have had a DHE engraving recut by one of the best, and with the naked eye you could not discern any evidence of a recut. However, under magnification you could. I would say it is impossible to recut any amount of engraving and not have evidenc...

Hey Kevin (Sporns), Can you post a photos showing the pattern?

I just studied the engraving in this thread, and take a look at Birdog's early A engraving. It is distinctly different from the other two in that the embellishment around the hinge pin and sear pin is more ornate. And again, Turnbull did not touch the engraving on sn200029. If we all see three disti...

Hey guys, The Fox A Grade that is in question here is an original engraving from Fox. If you look at all the early A engravings in this thread, most are quite anemic and barely noticeable cuts. However, the last one with all of the condition has much deeper and more ornate border cuts. I am sure any...

I see this is an old post, but I wanted to comment on the bore/choke constrictions on Paul's AE 20ga. In 12ga. guns, .017/.027 may be LM/IM, but the smaller the gauge, the smaller the constriction required to come to a common choke, ie. in a 20ga. gun .017/.027 IS M/F. A final observation, I do not ...

Twice Barrel, The 800X powder is my main load for my duck hunting. We have a 3 day late season on the holiday weekend of January 1rst. Most often the weather is so cold we can only hunt rivers and the ice is broken on the way out, and on the way back in. I would say last year was my coldest day with...

Twice Barrel, Most of these vintage doubles were designed for 1 1/4oz loads or less with the exception of the Super Fox and the L.C. Smith Long Range or "Waterfowl". They were designed for 1 3/8 oz. I had a Sterlingworth with #1 weight barrels that I opened to 3" and shot 1 3/8oz. loa...

Hello Frank, I have never seen a beavertail shaped like that one, or that checkering pattern. Personally that would raise a flag for me but not count it out as original. The second flag for me is the step up or "ramp" that leads up to the ridge that seperates the two barrels, the ridge wit...
