November 30, 1912, Ad

Friend "Fowlgunner" sent me a link to this page in the November 30, 1912, issue of Forest & Stream , part of a four-page SD&G ad. Interesting in that the A.H. Fox guns listing includes the serial numbers. Forest & Stream, November 30, 1912, S, D & G ad.png Anyone he...

Re: Fox Products

I've got two of them, but I've never been able to score an original 1912 "Campfire" catalog.

Mystery Choke Devices

There was a question over on Shotgunworld about some choke devices from vintage skeet guns. I looked through the Gun Digests from 1944 to 1959 and 1934, 39 & 41 Stoeger's and didn't see anything like this. What is it 01.png What is it 02.png We know the Winchester Model 12 on the left and the Re...

Re: 2024 adoptees

My gun came from an old Annapolis, Maryland, quail hunter. I got it at the Great Southern Weapons Fair at Richmond in 1992. Traded a NID Field Grade 20-gauge and a bit of cash for it.

I handled 200061 in Cape Girardeau and It is pictured on page 143 of "The Finest Book in the World."

Re: 2024 adoptees

No new Fox guns for this old guy this year, but my Wife got a new heart valve.

Great guns Jeff! That early A-Grade 16-gauge is a nice mate to my favorite 20-gauge.

Re: Sterlingworth Chokes

While the Sterlingworth listings in the A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalogs from 1911 to 1929 all list 30-inch (Standard) guns to be bored full & full, three of the six letters I have in my files on 30-inch guns show modified & full. I have never seen one that letters with reverse chokes. The Sterling...

Single Trigger

I was searching the net for American Arms Co. guns and stumbled on this George H. Fox side-swing hammer double with one ugly single trigger --

Re: Sterlingworth with double ivories ?

The Lyman or Marbles sights could also have been added after market. One would need a letter from Cody to verify them being done at the factory.

Re: 3 digit serial number Fox A Grade

A Fox "pin gun" with a three-digit serial number could be a Fox Gun Co. Balto., Md., U.S.A. --

or a Philadelphia Arms Co. --
738 06.jpg
Either way, unless it is a higher grade engraved Philadelphia Arms Co. Fox probably in the $500 to $1000 range.

Re: Chamber length question

I've posted this several times. FOX CHAMBERS -- The only two A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalogues, that I have seen, that state chamber lengths are the 1913 and 1914. They both state 12-gauge guns are regularly chambered for 2 3/4-inch shells, 16-gauge 2 9/16–inch shells and 20-gauge 2 1/2-inch shells. That ...
