From your brief description, I believe you have a Fox double barrel shotgun from the short-lived Philadelphia Arms Co. Probably something like this --
Ad from
American Field, April 22, 1905 --
We need to see some pictures of the gun to tell anything more.

Dennis sent me a photo of his Philadelphia Arms Fox. If you have more Dennis, send them along and I'll post them for you. The information that Researcher posted here applies. The gun you have actually pre dates the A.H. Fox gun company, and looks like a nice example. There is also some additional info on pre-fox guns on our homepage.
