Fox Collectors

Ithaca used primarily American Black Walnut all the way up while Parker Bros. and A.H. Fox went to European Walnut on their better grades. Until The Great War A.H. Fox used European Walnut on all their graded guns except the Sterlingworth. Do have to say this George Ryman 16-gauge NID looks a lot be...

For those interested, George Ryman's NID No. 4E 16-gauge is pictured at Shotgun World --

Nice gun!! A lot of nice guns passed through that shop on the back of Randy's house and later the shop at the edge of town. Always enjoyed chatting with Byron. Quite a few guns migrated from there to my gun room, including this 32-inch A-Grade, 16-gauge -- 303577 02.JPG Back in the late 1980s I gain...

In my college days there was a Pigeon Grade Superposed mounted on the wall of the old Seattle Skeet & Trap Club at Redmond, WA, with a similar blow-out of the lower barrel that also took a chunk out of the side of the frame. Caption on the mount said "double charge of Red Dot."

Tru-Sport was another "trade brand" used by Tryon as on this Red Head recoil pad --

Don't know for sure, but I suspect a good bet is they are shells loaded by Federal for Tryon - Supplee - Biddle, just like Federal did for Sears and Wards --

My buddy Wayne's grandfather was an Iowa farmer that sold out in 1910 and moved to Saskatchewan and went grain farming in a big way. All set up to make it big feeding "The Empire" during WW-I making enough to carry him through the Great Depression then doing it again in WW-II. About 1950 h...

Sentiment would say "Meat in the Pot" my 1914 vintage A-Grade, 12-gauge, 28-inch Krupp barrel gun -- 21460 12-ga A-Grade right cropped.jpg that has been my go-to gun for all manner of upland game from quail along the Mexican border to Sharptails in Saskatchewan -- Oct 23, 1968, Sharptails,...

In 1977 I went to a course at Beale AFB, then hopped over to Reno for the weekend before heading home. Spent most of Saturday at the Harrah's Auto Museum. I didn't know any Ansley H. Fox history back then, but with the name FOX and from Philadelphia, took many Kodachromes but turned out I didn't hav...

I'd say most ejector doubles look like that after any significant amount of use. My Fox-Sterlingworth Ejector Skeet & Upland Game Gun that has digested tens of thousands of rounds in the years since I retired certainly does as do my Model 21 Skeet Guns. I certainly don't worry about it.

Also, the early small bore extractor guns, both Sterlingworth and graded, used the Fox & Kremer latch snap-on/-off forearm --
while the ejector guns used the F.T. Russell latch.
Later the extractor guns began using the F.T. Russell latch as well.

These guns are a bit hard to find. They are silky smooth. Years ago I saw one that was engraved by Ken Hurst I believe. It was amazing. I put Ken onto the Model 17 he engraved when I saw it at a local pawn shop. My favorite was the one Remington engraver Carl Ennis did for his wife which was pictur...

Remington's first 20-gauge pump shotgun. Introduced 1920 and made into the 1930s. Made for 2 3/4-inch shells and lit a fire under Winchester to improve their 20-gauge Model 12. John M. Browning design and was the forerunner to the Ithaca Model 37.

Anyone seen one of these before?
Showed up on Shotgunworld today. Was this a commercially available after-market item or some tinkerer's one off?
