So here's an entry on a Fox record card copy. Any ideas what it reads?

Frank, I would be glad to help. However, a scan of the entire card would help.

As you pointed out eightbore the entire card could provide a valuable "context clue" as to what the heck we were looking at to try to unravel.

No the gun doesn't have an orange pad. :wink: Gents, what I posted is the only part of the back side that's hard to read. Other entries there were made by a different hand and are quite legible. The "shoots ok" reading by Dave makes perfect sense in light of the other entries. Not trying to be mysterious but I don't want to shortcut what could be a good story on this gun, by posting the entire card at this time. Thanks again to all who were receptive to the cryptic pic and tried to help here and by messaging.
