Fox Collectors

Good for you John. Nice gun. Nice bird. Thanks for posting

I want to give credit where credit is due so I would like to give our Most Honorable Executive Director Steve Cambria a Big Atta Boy for tagging that nice 8 point buck pictured below on the January page of the 2025 Winchester Arms Collector Association calendar. No, he didn’t get it with a Fox but a...

Yes, all of the above.

Here is one I purchased 49 years ago and still have it. SN 57979 letters as a 26 inch Brush Model, IC in right barrel and Mod in the left barrel (#1 - but see below), shipped October 24th, 1911 (#2 - see below) to J. M. Warren - no address given. #1 - Actually the gun is choked Imp. Cyl in left barr...

What could be better - a Super gun, fantastic dog and great friends. Cooperating ducks help too.

Too bad you can't use lead.

I agree - great picture of your dog with that teal.

Your Model 1911 Pin Gun looks pretty good too.

Thanks Phil/Fin2Feather for Bill's style of explaining the origin of Coot Isle. Now we know.

Jolly, can you elaborate on what Coot Island Gun Club was.thanks :wink: I can elaborate some and maybe other CIGC members/Researcher can add to it. It was a membership in which you were invited to join. I'm thinking requirements of being a fan of nice old stuff: Fox and other nice old classical sho...

Really sad to hear that. He and his dad were truly wonderful people. I did some trading with both of them and have a lot of correspondence and pictures including a Coot Island Gun Club membership card.

Yes, sad to hear that and may he rest in peace.

Absolutely, nothing better . . . .

And some great hunting companions to share it with.

awilk0810,

Also, it very likely has 2 9/16 inch chambers so be careful shooting current production 2 3/4" ammo out of it.

And as Jeff suggests above, share some more info on the gun. It looks like a very nice one.

In the Sept 10 Morphy catalog lot #1486 is a model 21 DUCK with two barrels. In the description of each barrel is says " Drain hole plugged with solder". That's a new one on me. Forearm? Barrel lumps? Can anyone explain this? Thanks, Bill Bill, I think they be referring to a hole that may...

Those early A style engraving 16's and 20's are not very common. I'm glad you got a nice one Steggy.

Hi Paul, Thanks for posting those pictures. Much nicer than what I was anticipating. You have some nice boxes in nice shape. They would look great on shelves in your gun room alongside some nice Fox's, Parker's, Ithaca's and such. And thanks Frank for your very thoughtful Reply. Makes good sense in ...
