Not as good as yours, but I always thought that my 30” 16 ga. Sterlingworth looked good.
Shoot vintage firearms, relax, and have fun.

My SP-Frame 28-inch gun --
My "draw-bolt" frame gun --
The story I got from David Condon about those numbers in the stock was that it was a gun that came out of the armory of an old recently defunct Shenandoah Valley military academy (high school).
I also have a high condition regular frame Fox Sterlingworth but I don't have any close-up pictures. I displayed the three frame styles at the Winter 2015 Las Vegas show --

This is a crispy early 20 I have. It would be perfect if it did not have a scratch on the right barrel.

My original 12 gauge 30” gun. Also have a 16 with 30” but wood appears to be added incorrect finish or refinish
