CE Grade 2 Sets of barrels

[engleja]

Here is another family jewel! One barrel is 28" #4 weight and the other is 30" #2 weight. I have edited the serial number. If you have information about this shotgun PM me and I will provide it. My Great Grandfather was good friends with Henry Bartholomew and Nash Buckingham and I would love to know more about the shotgun.

So far this is my favorite. Your grandfather sure had fine tastes in shotguns and from the way it sounds knowledgeable mentors.
I use to duck hunt not far from there on the Arkansas side on the Cache river. Any quail left on your grandfathers old stomping grounds?

Thanks for sharing the history of your grandfather and his shotguns. You do know we all like to look at other shotguns too not just Foxes. What are your grandfathers favorites?

Hi Paul,

The only wild quail I have experienced in Virginia were on the Rappahannock near Tappahannock,Va.

As you might have guessed there are other shotguns, some american and others from across the pond, and I will try to get some of them up.

My Grandfathers favorite is the high grade Superfox because of the memories tied to it. So the story goes, he was on the Potomac at Mr. Bartholomew's place hunting with his father and Mr. Buckingham. They were shooting over decoys on one of Mr. Bartholomew's off shore blinds. Al three men where sleeping when one awoke and noticed a duck swimming towards the decoys. One of the men suggested that "Tony", my grandfather a boy at the time, take the duck. Tony was handed the Superfox with a selective single trigger to shoot the duck on the water. Tony rested the very large and heavy shotgun on the blind, pulled the trigger, and like many times before both barrels fired off simultaneously. Had it not been for Mr. Nash and Mr. Bartholomew catching him as he knocked backwards towards the door of the blind he is sure he would have ended up in the Potomac.

Thank you for your interest,
Jonathan
