Fox reference info

Post by birdawg »

Is there a list of articles (DGJ, SS, or?) that delve into the variations of Fox guns?
The more I see of these guns, the more intrigued I am by the variations, what is real and what is not. I would also like to find more photos of the guns for reference.

Of course I have the Fox book and several DGJ articles but that only wets my appetite.

It is going to take someone with a lot of time on their hands to find all my internet babble and consolidate it!!

The only Fox articles I wrote for The Double Gun Journal were Number 35, Volume Twelve, Issue 1; Philadelphia Arms, Volume Thirteen, Issue 4, and Evolution of the Sterlingworth Volume Fifteen, Issues 3 & 4 with corrections in Volume Sixteen, Issue 2.

I also had an article on The Fox Gun Co., Balto., MD., U.S.A. and Baltimore Arms Co. in The Gun Report, Volume 42, Number 9.
