Fox Collectors

Mr. Snipe Flats, your story of where Bo Whoop was found is not the same as that being told by Julia Auctions. Jim, I didn't see anyone mention on any threads about the information I shared regarding Dr. Andrew's comments on this site. What is interesting to me, is that after so many years Dr. Andre...

Snipe Flats, George was the first person to actually report, on the internet, seeing and handling the gun after Jim Kelly made the discovery. He may know the date that the gun was taken to Kelly for restocking, I don't remember. I examined the gun in October of last year, a little over a month befo...

Researcher, I appreciate your information. It is always nice to have accurate data. What do you know of the Becker marketed guns? Several years ago I had a conversation with Tom Kidd regarding locating an HE. He indicated that Mike M. had really increased interest in the gun (HEs) but he (Tom) didn'...

Fox-Adm, I have read that some 200 or so 12 gauge HEs were built by the Fox Gun Go. and a much smaller number of 20s, less than 60. Does anyone know how many guns were 3" chambers and or 2 3/4"? Have you identified how many folks on your site possess HEs? I understand from my limited readi...

Mr. Landers, Does anyone know when the current owner of Buckingham's no. 1 gun (the gun up for auction at James D. Julia's) became aware (month and year) that the firearm he possessed was the famous original "Bo Whoop" No. 1 gun that was lost by Nash on December 1, 1948? And do you know wh...

I have no idea when GBE met Nash Buckingham, so I have no real opinion about his statements about the gun. However, in Portrait of Nash, GBE says "I never shot with Nash.", "My admiration for him grew during our correspondence.". In scanning the chapter again, I don't see any an...

Give us a page reference in "The Best" so we can read the full story. Did GBE ever see Bo Whoop? I doubt that he did. On page 2 G.B. Evans states, "I know of each of his guns, although I never balanced the ten pounds of Becker magic" so I can't honestly say "yes" or &q...

The page is 151 and it is making reference to Becker #1.

As a new member, I humbly submit a big Thank You, to the broad and the members for this site. The resurrection of "Bo Whoop" stands as a testiment to our legendary friend of North American wildfowl, Nash Buckingham. I, like many of you, have only come to know this man and his gun by way of...
