its lightly engraved says FOX on the sides and is engraved alot like a sterlingworth, but a bit more than that. i dont see a grade mark on the water table

Sounds like an A grade. Can I assume its full pistol grip and extractors?

Would love to see some pictures.

it is an A grade sn 1819 30" krupp fluid steel f/f it has either been restocked or sanded (no checkering left on the stock) the safety is missing and sombody ground the hinge pin ends flat, the screws are chewed up pretty bad also, on the other hand the wood is all tight, it locks up nice, the barrels only have light pitting.. I put some snap caps in it and pulled the triggers its a shooter, if anybody knows of some parts available (hinge pin, saftey ect) let me know i would love to get it back inyo shape...

parts are going to be hard to come by i am afraid... there have been quite a few of these A grade PAC guns for sale in the last 6 months (I can think of 6+) but almost all have been "fixer uppers." A good smith could make the parts you need but it will likely cost as much as buying another gun. There are at least two on the market right now but we are not allowed to talk about guns for sale on this board so....
