Well, there's one that I know of... a sixteen gauge Special that changed hands decades ago well before I was old enough to have "the wear-with-all" to try buy such a Fox had it been offered to me. I've never touched it but I have seen a few pics. YIKES!!!!

I have been searching for a high condition Sterlingworth Skeet & Upland 16 gauge with ejectors & Kautzky (no pad) for many many years to go with my 20. Gotta be a real nice one conditionwise.
I've never seen one.

Foxnut, the optioned up 20ga SW S&U that I have is the very first Fox that Dad & I bought back way back around 1980. Interesting enough it is choked FULL & FULLER. Bought it from an old man who claimed it previously belonged to a Savage employee who was on the Fox/Savage Trap Team. I have never found mention of the Savage/Fox Trap Team. I suspect its a true tale as the gent we got it from knew zero about Fox guns & chokes. He said he only fired it once.... at a red squirrel in a tree next to his old house in Hamilton. NY.

Straight grip Fox CE with 28" 3 or 4 weight barrels choke improved/modified. Seems to be a unicorn.

Tomasz, several years ago while doing some study for a DGJ article I came across a writeup on the Savage/Fox Trap Team. It was a magazine writeup with a pic of the team and names to include the Team Captain's. I'll see if I can find it again. frank

I just want to get my CE 20 back from the various gunsmiths/engravers who have been bringing it back from the grave. I'm hoping it will be in my hands for next bird season. Other then that I'm pretty set. That said, if a nice light AE 16 came along at the right price I'd be wallet digging.

Francisek, that would be very cool if you could find that Savage/Fox Trap Team info for sure. Wow, a magazine article & pic! I came up dry looking here at the Oneida County Historical Society here in Utica and old newpaper websites. I'll bring xtra Utica Club to Hausmann's this June.
