Strong showing for a Sterlingworth ...

[FoxintheHenHouse]

I was watching the Julia auction today when Lot #1118 came up for bid, A.H. Fox Sterlingworth 20 gauge which sold for $3500 plus premium. Wow !

Not the least bit surprised on that one. A small-bore with Condition-Condition-Condition!

Mr Roll said it well: condition, condition! For example, Lot 1106 which is a high condition J-Grade SBT gun that hammered at $6250 plus the juice. In comparison, Lots 1107 and 1108 which are also J-Grades but with condition issues, sold for $2200 and $2250 respectively. Then there's Lot 1109, a CE 16-bore with 28 inchers, "partially restored", hammering at $5K.

Also for info, there's another batch of Foxes coming up (Lots 3516-3530) later in the week.

There seem to be quite a few "partially restored" guns in this auction. But some coming up that are original.


And some that might of gone higher if the auctioneer was just a little slower to give a chance for online bids to reach them
