Purchased a Fox Philidelphia Sterlingworth 12 gauge at a recent show. From little info I have found it appears to have been built in 1914 , Serial 69505. Dual triggers, Barrels are 30" Fluid Steel. No chamber markings on the barrel. Serial Numbers match on the water table, barrels, trigger guard.

So what should I expect these chambers to be, I read a little on barrel weights but do not see any markings for that on the barrels.

Fox did not mark chamber length as a norm

You should measure them

2 5/8 would be my guess unless they were lengthened at some point

Barrel weight was stamped before finishing I think. So they don't alway survived
