Fox Collectors

Nice you got that "Queen" out of the closet!

Nice find!! An anomaly I've noticed is that both of the A.H. Fox Gun Co. Super-Fox pamphlets state the HE-Grade is stocked with American walnut. The 1923 pamphlet -- 1923 Super Fox Brochure pages 18 & 19 American highlighted.jpg The 1925 pamphlet -- 1925 Super Fox Brochure pages 18 &...

The term Deluxe was applied to the Fox-Sterlingworth by Savage Arms Corp. in 1930 with this insert into their A.H. Fox catalogs -- Fox-Sterlingworth Deluxe intro January 2, 1930.jpg The "Deluxe" added a Jostam Anti-Flinch recoil pad and twin ivory sights for an advance in priced of $3. ove...

It appears to be an A-Grade from 1907, but it appears to have been restocked by Savage at some time.

I had such loads in my Model 12 Heavy Duck the first day I went to the Goose lease I joined on the Eastern Shore. Quickly learned they were either in over the decoys gear down and locked or they were going by so high Elmer couldn't get them with old serial number 500000, or a typewriter!! The great ...

I couldn't help myself and had to pick up this Savage Arms Corp. ad from a 1936 issue of Hardware Age magazine --
Gotta love that "Savage precision manufacture" line!!

Those 1 7/8-ounce 12-gauge 3-inch Magnum Super-X loads first appear in the January 2, 1958, Western Catalog. The 1 5/8-ounce loads were introduced in 1935 along with the introduction of the Winchester Model 12 Heavy Duck.

That is 364388. Last I knew that was Larry's keeper.

Are the roll-stamps John has A.H. Fox Gun Co., Savage or both. Mitzie obviously had roll-stamps to mark barrels as being A.H. Fox Gun Co. Chromox barrels --

Yeah!! A shot of the great Don Stuff display from that year --
Seafood at some of the great local eateries and steaks at Mitchum's!!

To add to Kevin's remarks, some of the usual suspects from The Vintage Cup 2005 --
Some are still with us.

First year I had a digital camera. Earlier years are 35mm slides in a box somewhere!!

I'm really perplexed by Lot 467 the 20-gauge AE-Grade upgraded to FE. All that engraving, gold inlays and fancy checkering on a dirt plain table leg piece of wood?!? 200478 01 FE-Grade upgrade, 28-inch.png The 12-gauge upgrade Lot 468 has a bit better wood, but not up the original B-grade I posted t...

That is the only picture I have of 19490. At the time I saw it a new stock was desperately needed. The story I was told at the time I saw it was that it had spent years in the groundskeepers shed at a Maryland golf course and was fired to start their tournaments.

Nice engraving. Serial number 19437 has similar engraving and is marked A SPECIAL and cards AE Special --

Serial number 19490 is another DE-Special with scroll engraving --
