This was a continuation of the upland and skeet gun with the exterior built as a Sterlingworth. In reading articles by Wyraz, Headrick and Noreen this appears there weren’t many built in twenty gauge. I was intrigued by the serial number. Hopefully someone knows the history of this gun. Always nice to do business with Josh.
In my now 37 years of recording observed Sterlingworths, my counts for Fox-Sterlingworth Skeet & Upland Game Guns are 36 12-gauge, 18 16-gauge and 12 20-gauge. Nine 12-gauges with ejectors, two 16-gauges with ejectors and five 20-gauges with ejectors.

Craig, congrats on two very nice guns. Like you said, used but not abused and both appear to be well taken care of. Both of those guns will be great for your SD trip. We’ll look forward to some pics later this fall when both of them are in action out West! Thanks for sharing the info on these two guns!
Regards - Foxnut
