Fox Collectors

The setter is also pointing in the opposite direction than a 1912 gun i have .

In answer to your three questions: I read the card as stating that Gough has the design for the block letters in the stock shield. Earlier rebated X's didn't have an intercepting lock screw. On C Grades, we've seen the dog facing both ways.

What Frank said on Gough and the block letters. The high grade features of both the lock screw and whether or not the breechballs are profiled seems to be a little hit or miss. My big XE boomer has all three of the high grade features --
but some don't have the lock screw, or some have it behind the top tang screw, and some didn't get the profiled breechballs.

Thank you sir for your input , there are probably more undiscovered variants in existence . This one was just too intriguing to pass up . That's a fine looking X grade by the way !
