I have seen a couple of Ansley H. Fox doubles with English proofs and a friend at one time had a nice DE-Grade with French proofs that the last I saw of it it was being offered for sale by Herschel Chadick, so that was some time ago. Tom Kidd did an article on a 20-gauge CE 200316 that went to England in The Double Gun Journal, Volume Six, Issue 4, pages 47 to 53, but he shows no pictures of the barrel flats or watertable to show any proof marks.
Most of the production cards I've seen for Ansley H. Fox guns going "out CONUS" are to L.H. Hagen in Norway, so many that they got their own engraving patterns for the A-grades they got.

See the January 2011 Card of the Month and the April 2021 Card of the Month. They often ordered no engraving on the barrels. The middle gun of three XE-Grade 12-gauges Hagen ordered recently surfaced in Norway on one of the other gun boards. It has been out there in the world, not languishing in a gun safe --

A lot of guns also went to our territories, Martin Kohn in Havana, Cuba and Squires Bingham in the Philippines.
Out in the world indeed. The barrels on that Norway gun look like they've been sleeved.
