I like the abbreviated barrel wedges; in the late engraving style they balance nicely with the coverage on the breech balls. Thanks for sharing that one.

Thats a super nice B (ejectors?) Craig. Those Bs from that period have wood the quality of a later DE grade in my opinion. I think this grade flat out beat the Parker for the ammount of engraving for the money. A GHE parker would set you back about the same money in 1916. I would have taken the Fox givin the choice. Paul

Yeah, those Parker G Grades are real trash. However, one of these days, I'd like to case a Parker and a Fox of similar quality together in a two gun trunk case just to promote discussion. I once had a great B Grade second generation 26" gun that I would like to have back. The pictured gun reminded me of that great Fox from the past.

Thanks Paul, It's a real beauty, the case colors looks much stronger in real light, the flash tends to wash them out. Extractor gun, looks like X grade wood (the other side is weaker) , will see what the letter says.
Here is a few photo's I took today in natural light.
