I inherited two A.H Fox shotguns. One is a little different from the other... both have serial numbers on them. Neither is in good working order, they have not seen the light of day for 40 years.
It looks like some parts are "frozen", eg the safety and firing pin on one, and the wood assembly piece? (it has springs...) on the other.
Serial numbers 18155 and 30048H (or H30048). I have attached photos of one of the two guns.
My question is, what do I do with them? Do I find a gunsmith to repair them, and if so are there certain gunsmiths who can and cannot fix these? Do I sell them? Shoot them? ( I do shoot a shotgun now and then )
Put them in a glass case?
Please help me better understand the importance and value these. I have pictures but dont know how to post them.
Much Appreciated
