Has anyone ever seen this on another Fox? I just noticed that the stamping for Sterlingworth on mine is missing the "i".

The A.H. Fox Gun Co. certainly continued to use roll-stamps well beyond their retirement age. On this STERLINGWORTH the E and the second R have exceeded their useful lives --
This 16-gauge STERLINGWORTH is really bad --

That’s make it unique. Price goes up $500.

"I" likely broke off from the Die and who knows how many guns got marked with it before it was noticed.

How about not even attempting to spell Sterlingworth at all?
