A while back I posted pictures of a 20-gauge Fox-Sterlingworth with serial number 271104, as the highest serial number we'd observed to date. Just looking at Guns International today, it appears to my eyes tha Niles and Kim have 271111 up for sale. Has anyone seen this gun at Safari Outfitters in person? Can verify the serial number?

I apparently won't be seeing them at the Vintagers according to the exhibitor list. Researcher, have you ever confirmed with John Callahan what the highest number Sterlingworth order card is for each gauge?

No. Just going by the old Lightner Library chronology, which I have certainly picked apart from time to time, the highest 20-gauge Fox-Sterlingworth serial number is 271304, and the highest 16-gauge is 378481. The highest 16-gauge serial number I've recorded is 378404, a Fox-Sterlingworth Ejector Brush, which I almost bought at Green Top Sporting Goods in November 2001, but the NIC check phone line was down, and I was in a hurry to get up I-95 to home.
