SW Wildfowl gun Letter

I just thought I would post a copy of the letter I received today on my big Sterlingworth. I found it interesting that the it was shipped 5 years after they stopped cataloging the gun.
I also added the letter to the photos on the SW section so it will be available for future reference.

Hello Jess:

I have WildFowl #134103 and it was also shipped in 1945. This was a good time to sell slow moving guns, it was the end of WWII and people had money, but nothing to buy. All production had gone into the war effort and consumer products were not yet available. In the case of Fox shotguns, they never would go back into production---you only could buy what had been produced and on the rack.

Birdawg, nice, really nice. Very nice touch by Mr Callahan also putting in the "extra" info about the HE card....adds alot of color to what was going on in that era. Marshfellow
