16g, AE, circa 1920.

Post by ClayShooter »

Here's a gun I've had kicking around for the past few years. Screws look untouched. Functions perfectly.
The pictures have washed out the color a little, the receiver and barrels do appear darker to the human eye.
The funny thing is that I can't remember exactly when I got it. I've been messing with guns for so long, it's just part of the herd in the gun room.

I know that some here track as many of these as possible, so I have included the Factory Letter information to be helpful to the historians in the group.

Nice 16 you got. Didn't know any of the Fox guns had swivel studs.

Yes, I was surprised to see that on the factory letter. I thought they were after-markets.

Also, should mention for those keeping score at home, 2-7/16" chambers.

Great that your gun escaped the "Revolucion"! Almost all of them ordered by Martin Kohn, which was in Havana, Cuba, were ordered with studs. The July 2020 Card of the Month was a Martin Kohn gun.

Same for those that went to L.H. Hagen in Christianna (Oslo), Norway. Hagen guns even had special engraving.

Very cool that it survived all this time with the swivels in tact! Also, wouldn't you love to know how it made its way back to the states!

Thanks for sharing your pictures. I didn’t know what a Fox swivel looked like until I saw one at this year’s “Southern”.

Very nice gun! I own a Super Fox that letters with swivels that are the same as the ones on your gun, oriented the same way. First time I have seen another example. Thanks for the pictures. Craig

Foxnut said, "Also, wouldn't you love to know how it made its way back to the states!"... Yes I would Sir, ... but first, I'd like to remember how it made it's way to my collection.
I was a pretty big dealer for a long while before retiring, As many dealers do, as I ran my business, the cool "keepers" got salted away in the far back until it was time to retire, and now as I keep digging, I keep finding gems to shoot that I had stashed away for too long.

There was lots of travel back and forth between Cuba and the U.S. from the Spanish American War until the "Revolucion", civilian, military and government officials. Same for the Philippines. Lots of A.H. Fox guns were shipped to Squires - Bingham in the PI.
