I noticed a very rough 32" CE "pigeon gun"on GB which would have been perfect in configuration for one of my projects but the condition was beyond restoration, IMHO. The seller was a very nice fellow who was having some family health issues and had a number of other guns for sale. One was a 12g Sterlingworth 30" #1 barrels pin gun ejector #60048...a pretty rare gun. A bit out of empathy, I sent him a check and waited for the gun. While I was waiting, I saw an ad come up on the Double Gun BBS for a 12g 30" Sterlingworth pin gun ejector, hmmmm, I took a look. It was #60047...#1 barrels, wadja think of that I bought it. They both arrived at my FFL yesterday. The second gun was not quite as nice as the first but who's complaining? A "pair" of pretty rare Fox guns reunited in PA a few miles from their birthplace....a little sunshine during an awful week..

Good morning Don, that CE sans safety and with name on the trigger guard bow, was discussed quite a bit on the Members Forum. Most posters came to the same conclusion. That was a nice find on the consecutive ejector Pin guns! Frank Silvers
Made me think of a gun, in my safe I call Humpty Dumpty. I was at a gun show and noticed a Sterlingworth reciever, forend, and barrels on a table. There was no stock and no triggerplate or triggers. The barrels were in good shape and I traded a gun I had only a little money in for them.
A little later I was talking to a friend who was a gun smith about fitting the barrels to another gun. He noted I had most of the gun and said he thought he had a Fox triggerplate. He'd bought a cigar box of parts for $75 earlier in the day and when we looked for the trigger plate, he found it and placed it on my reciever. It dropped in, a perfect fit. We checked the serial numbers and they matched.
Aparently, whoever sold the gun to the first guy didn't know he had the other parts for it. I paid $75 for the plate and triggers and restocked the gun.
