5 years ago there was post about a fox sterlingworth brush ejector with a wood extension. This gun i now have at my house. The stock has been refinished because of the extension, but done absolutely well. It was cut for a boy, but when he grew up the same piece was added back.when looking at it from some angles you cant even see it.case color and barrel blue are indeed close to 100% and are original. Bores are crisp and mint. So...i know it is no longer original, but my my what a lovely little gun.

Tony: This was often done when the gun was modified for a child's use. The often saved the heel that was amputated so that the gun could be restored when the child grew to manhood (or womanhood)
Best Regards, George
