Sterlingworth Deluxe

Post by 3birddogs »

My 16 ga. Sterlingworth was called a "Deluxe" by another Fox enthusiast. I have not seen that terminology used on other posts on Sterlingworths. It is an early Savage gun( with plastic grip cap) and did have 2 ivory beads, the middle one was broken off. Is this the right terminology? Was there a deluxe model? I used to shoot this gun alot on grouse and woodcock, but more often carry my A grade 16 because it is alot lighter. Are the proper ivory beads still available?

Thanks Fin2Feather for the link and info on the SW Deluxe. It certainly answers all my questions. I also have a 20ga SW, a late Savage model w/o grip cap that is a nice gun to carry in the grouse woods.
