I have recently been given a double barrel shotgun with a double trigger.

I know very little about guns and I am trying to figure out when it was made. I cannot find any reference to the serial number (818xx) on the internet (I guess I am not looking in the right place). It says Sterlingworth on both sides of the plate at the beginning of the barrels.

On top of the barrels it says "Sterlingworth Fluid Compressed Steel" on one and "Made by A.H. FOX GUN CO. PHILA PA USA".
