The best workmanship Ansley H. Fox doubles are the graded 12-gauge guns made during the years Ansley was at the helm, 1905 to March 1912. On the other hand the F.T. Russell automatic ejectors introduced in 1911 are considered to be better then the earlier A.H. Fox and G.A. Horne ejectors used on the early guns. On the other hand the later Savage-era guns will have 2 3/4 inch chambers on the smallbores and tend to have slightly better stock dimensions. Similarly if one wants the options like vent ribs and beavertail forearms, as well a purpose built skeet guns, one needs to look at Savage-era guns. There are a very few Philadelphia era guns with factory original beavertail forearms, but I was playing in Fox doubles for over 44 years before I saw one!!
