Fox Collectors

Old photo we found in a safe we thought empty all these years I think this was taken late 40's after the war, on the left my great grandfather with the SxS then my grandmother & grandfather using a magnifying glass looks to have a single barrel vent rib shotgun. The two young men I believe are range workers.
I have the SxS A FH Fox has been mine for the last 50 years or so & yes I shoot it.

Great shot. Please tell us more. Where was that photographed? It looks to be a small trap mounted on a portable wagon of some sort?. What grade of Fox did you inherit? Whatever it is, what a treasure to be passed down several generations and still have the ability to bust clays or take game. We love to hear about family guns!!! Thanks for posting.----TOOL

Picture was taken in Ferndale MI very late 30's Shotgun is a 12 ga A H Fox Sterlingworth 28 inch barrels, full/modified has the Phillie steel barrel info stamped, not sure how it came from the chamber wise but it does have 2 3/4 chambers. It has nice wood and locks up tight as a drum. I load a mild 1 oz & 7/8 oz 12 ga that shoot fine in it.

Great stuff, Tom. Enjoy your Sterly and if I were you, I would try to get that photo enhanced/restored. Thanks to the digital age, they can do amazing things to old B&W photographs even without the negative. That picture deserves a spot in a very special place.

That is on my things to do list after the first of the year, also want this one restored its printed on silk same to men early 1900's sorry no Fox shotguns but I think a couple of Winchester 1897's.
