Does anyone know of any information available on the internal safety mechanism of this shotgun. Mine is missing and I don't know what it is supposed to look like. This is 12 gauge serial # 7xx. From what I gather 1902 or 1903 manufacture.
Thanks

Re: Fox made in Baltimore..MD.
The Fox Gun Co. Balto., MD, U.S.A. was in business from July 1898 to January 1900, when Ansley H. Fox left and his partners re-incorporated as Baltimore Arms Co. and started building a gun designed by Frank A. Hollenbeck. Ansley Fox then became a professional shooter, first for Winchester ammunition, but by August 1900 the big W had him shooting a Model 1897. Maybe these pictures of the remains of #714 and 866 can help --
