Has anyone seen that type of grip cap on any gun before?

I have never seen that treatment on a Fox before but the workmanship appears to be top notch. Scott can't wait to droll over your new gun at Hausmanns. I was thinking of you when the gun hit the auction and I am so happy it is in your collection.

I've seen quite a few nickel-silver engraved/monogramed grip caps on target shooter's guns over the years. Many of the big distributors like Simmons, Pachmayr, Brownells, etc. sold them. I very much doubt that gun left Utica with that grip cap. Looks post WW-II to me.

If I did not know better I would think this gun was built for the course at Hausmanns!

Ditto. Looking forward to seeing you and your new prize at the Northeast SxS. Might be just the ticket for Hidden Hollow's grouse targets.
