Fox Collectors

I have noted many numbers written in the RUSH on cards. My Gough-style B-Grade has a 9 and a 5 written in the U.

Look what it did to the weight! "Lightest Made" became "7 1/4 lbs grade"????

The gun recently posted in the for-sale section got me looking at my table of "Observed Wayne & Bristol Street Guns." I've recorded 61 guns in the 1 to 3000 serial number range. I have a nice distribution from 2 to 180. Nothing in the 2xx or 3xx range. Then six guns in the 4xx & 5x...

I have a 1951 Savage parts & repair catalog, and the frame has a single part number, not differentiated by gauge.

I don't know the years exactly but Roe was doing the A.H. Fox letters for $7 when the Headricks told me about this service in 1989.

Stumbled across this and thought it should be here. From the Vintagers at Addieville in 2013 --
The AHFCA Board surrounding Savage Historian John Callahan and the ephemera he brought.

Savage introduced the Model 420 & 430 12- & 20-gauge in their 1937 retail catalog -- Over-unders 1937 catalog.jpg The January 2, 1937, Wholesale Price List states the 12-gauge would be ready to ship in May and the 20-gauge in September -- Model 420, January 2, 1937, Wholesale Price List.jpeg...

That is a nice one!! Don't think I've ever seen one that nice for sale. My dad's second younger brother, my Uncle Irv, had a 12-gauge 430 when I was young. I probably remember it from pictures actually. By the early 50s Irv went totally Remington pump, Model 870 AP "Standard" Grades in 12-...

Sixty years of memories with "Meat-in-the-Pot" are better than all those safe queens --

Kevin, I doubt there is a Wayne Junction address ejector gun. The earliest Sterlingworth Ejector I've recorded is 58901, well into the Model 1911 era. No mention of ejectors in The Sterlingworth Co. catalog --

1. TR's F-Grade
2. BoWhoop
3. The Senator Hawes DE-Grade/Becker 20-gauge 203660
4. One of the G.A.M. guns
5. One of the Joshua Greene AE Special 30-inch 20-gauges

Looking at the production cards, a lot of Fox guns that were languishing in inventory went to J.L. Galef in an Odds & Ends sale. Throughout the 1930s we see J.L. Galef selling A.H. Fox guns below Savage's Wholesale Price. From 1932 -- J.L Galef 1932.jpg October 1934 J.L. Galef catalog -- October...

For most yesterday and today I have not been able to get to the PGCA Site. Get a box that states that site does not support a secure connection.

Not if you are offering it For Sale.

I owned a 20-gauge that probably looked just like that back in the fall of 1938 when it was the 21st birthday present for my friend Henry Thomas of Federal Oak Farm in Charles County, Maryland. Henry was an English Setter man and in the fifty years between when he got the gun and he gave it to me, i...
