Fox Collectors

Please identify .I have a Fox book catalog where there is a post an rail fence an a double shotgun is leaning against fence .There are 3 grouse hanging from fence an a Red Fox is sneeking towards fence .Nice forest scene to right of fence .The catalog is grey with 1.5 inch letters Fox Gun brown with blue accents . Half inch letters under above The Finest Gun in the world .This one in poor shape just curious what year . coalbin jack

I lent my A.H. Fox book out a few weeks back. Anyone who has a copy would be able to ID the year by the color of the cover. It's definitely a "Fox Gets the Game" version and I want to say that one is 1916 or 1917? I'm sure someone will chime in before too long.

The gray version may be either 1913 or 1914 depending on the XE content. If you do not have these catalogues
available to you, your best bet would be to see McIntosh, p 340 and p341. Remember the content may not indicate the actual date Fox furnished the item to a customer; catalogues were used until the supply ran out. Brown colored
versions were 1915/1916, and on in to 1917.

The 1913 grey catalogue still shows the early style engraving and the 1914 has the new Gough-style engraving. Also, these are the only two A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalogues that mention chamber length.

"DUH, TOOL MAN".....too close to the flame as they say! Thanks for reminding me Dave that we have a wonderful depository of Fox catalog covers available for viewing, located on our home page!!
