I didn't go to the post office yesterday, but it was there today. Shame the photo annotations were left off. Thanks for providing them, Craig.

Actually, printing off your post in black & white makes them easier for a geezer to read than Cote's usual gold letter annotations!!

P.S. see page 28 of the November 2021, The American Rifleman.

Sorry, Dave, but I cancelled my membership after 65 years of paying annual dues and getting no invitations to go hunting in Africa with The Dynamic Duo. What's on page 28 of the November 2021 American Rifleman?

A blurb about 100th Anniversary Super-X boxes with what has irritated me since 1975 when Olin first put Super-X on a Winchester box.

Thanks all for the positive feedback. Just to close the loop I received a very gracious letter of apology from the Cote's for not including the picture titles. Craig

Craig is a great writer and terrific resource for all things Fox in addition to being very helpful to me personally.

However...that is by no means the entirety of the story....just saying....

It sounds like my lack of having a DGJ subscription is making me miss out on some great material. But I just cannot bring myself to have a subscription again.

Thanks Craig for a very well written and photographed story on the C-HE 20 - Your articles are always well thought out and well written. Your photography is second to none - (in my opinion there are a few authors who should allow you to take there pictures for them)
Thanks Craig You are the best!!
Thanks also to Tom and His Family who owned the gun previously. He was a true gentleman throughout the process of sale and transfer. He had discussed the gun with others, both dealers and individuals, but He was determined the gun go to the right collector - And was willing to accept a discount to other offers to see that it found the right home.
Thanks again Tom.
And also thanks to James who heard rumor of this gun before it came to the surface Via Craig. James has helped me acquire a few other guns (including my beloved 20 gauge 32" sterlingworth ejector gun) and quite a few others for my Vanderbilt friends. While James did not help me secure the C-HE 20, He did manage to help steer the transaction in my direction. Funny how things work out sometimes.
thanks James, much appreciated!
