Fox Floorplate Engraving
Fox Floorplate Engraving
Help please.
I'm looking for just the right Fox to be engraved on the floorplate of a CSMC Fox DE.
No game scenes, just deep relief scroll throughout and A.H. Fox banners on the sides.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Just a thought...
...how about the Fox pictured here?

Re: Fox Floorplate Engraving
If you can find it, there is an advertisement designed by Lynn Bogue Hunt for Ithaca Gun Co. that is the image of a red fox in hot pursuit of a pheasant. Researcher may know where to find it. To each his own: to my eye the Ithaca fox looks much more realistic than any portrayal on the Fox catalogs. Hope this may help.

Nice. Thanks.
I'm cracking up right now 'cause the one I googled looks so stupid next to the one you suggested.

Re: Fox Floorplate Engraving
I saw this one engraved on the receiver of a custom gun many many years ago:

Re: Fox Floorplate Engraving
The LB Hunt and the Walter Haskell images would look great on a Fox floorplate.

Re: Fox Floorplate Engraving
Just thought of another good piece of fox artwork. It's by Ned Smith and was on the cover of PA Game News magazine. I'm up at the camp right now but I'll look it up when I get home if you haven't settled on something else by then. Fred

That scene A FOX GETS THE GAME from the cover of the 1914 Fox brochure has been done previously on another custom Fox:2lo8s wrote:Help please.

Although I wasn't aware of the Walter Haskell Hinton illustration until today, that scene is very similar to the Bob Strosin engraved floorplate of my custom Fox:

Go to artbarbarians.com and search for fox. Not every result will be a fox with that selection, but there will be a good number of ideas.
