Fox Collectors

The Newsletter archive is in the "Members Only" section of the web site. Got to be a dues paying member to get there. The AHFCA has photocopies of the surviving production cards for the graded Ansley H. Fox guns A- to FE-Grades, no Sterlingworth cards, and dues paying members get one look-...

Welcome aboard. Get on the road right now and attend the Southern Side by Side starting today!! Probably the best place to start is reading through a lot of posts here on the AHFCA web site and all the info on the home page. The late Mike McIntosh's book A.H. Fox, The Finest Gun in the World is a go...

The gun is an AE-Grade "shooter" it is not a mint condition high-grade "collector's item." Make it useful to you. I had the right barrel of my favorite A-Grade 12-gauge opened to improved cylinder in 1966 and have never regretted it. My favorite 20-gauge, a 1913 A-Grade left Nort...

Actually, a closer look at my table shows three in the 259xxx range but one of those, 259708, is only marked STERLINGWORTH on the sides of the frame but has big letter Savage marking on the barrels -- 259708 07a.jpg 259708 06.jpg The transition from Philadelphia to Utica in 20-gauge Sterlingworths s...

I've only recorded two Savage 20-gauge Fox Sterlingworths with lower serial numbers. Except for the deep cut Savage checkering that gun is really all Philadelphia parts. Pretty sure the Bradley front sight isn't original.

It appears to me from the pictures I've saved, and the three that I have, that the early The Sterlingworth Co. guns in the 50xxx serial number range have smooth heads to the pin. 50471 TSC 1.jpg By 50491 we begin seeing frames with the Ansley H. Fox pointed shape of the side-panel. I don't have any ...

The gun I really wonder about is this XE-Grade that went to L.H. Hagen in Norway --
It surfaced on another web site a while back, still in Norway. Wonder if it shot any Nazis during the occupation?

Thats good. A gun with some history.

These 30-inch 20-gauges that I call "Joshua Green Guns" have been several of my Cards of the Month -- July 2010, April & May 2013, November 2014, January 2017, and February 2018. At the 2014 winter Las Vegas show, one of our members brought this gun made for Seattle Judge John B. Gordo...

I'm 99.99% certain that the A.H. Fox Gun Co. wouldn't do "custom work" on a Sterlingworth. The Sterlingworth was a "Made for Stock" to "Standard Specifications" gun to be sold over the counter at sporting goods stores & hardware stores and by mail-order houses. To g...

That stock and forearm are definitely after-market work. The Philadelphia era Sterlingworths only came in standard configurations and with a capped pistol grip stock. From the 1913 Sterlingworth folder -- 1913 Sterlingworth Folder inside, grip highlighted.jpg 1913 Sterlingworth Ejector -- 62126 01 S...

Here is a link to a Model 141E --

Anybody know the status of the late Gene Myskowski's book on Remington engraving?

It would be in the general few years before WW-I. The production card may have the shipment date on it but that doesn't necessarily mean when it was built. I have two 12-gauges in the 214xx range. One shipped in 1914, which would agree with the old Lightner Library serial number chronology. The othe...

Welcome aboard. You are certainly off to a good start. Wow, coming out of Whitehorse, YT, wonder if it spent its life there.
