SP 20 Gauge

So I took a chance on a 20 gauge SP I found on an auction site. The pictures were poor but for the price, I decided to go for it. The gun came in today and I couldn't be more pleased. It has 2 small spots of surface rust that need to be addressed, but other than that, it is in very good condition and fits me like a glove. My only 20 gauge Fox has 26" barrels, so I have been itching to try one with longer barrels. This one is 28". Hope you enjoy the pics, even though photography isn't the best.

Sweet. Love that it has the special SP-/SPE-Grade butt plate. My May 1937 16-gauge SP-Grade matches the card exactly but has a regular butt plate?
How is your new toy marked on the top of the barrels?

Yes I couldn't tell if it had the special butt plate from the photos, so I was most pleased when I unwrapped it. The right barrel is marked "A.H. Fox - Special- 20 gauge" and the left barrel has the normal "made by savage arms, utica etc." and that's it. No 2 3/4" chamber markings

I was just wondering if it said A.H. Fox anywhere on it. My 16-gauge has Special Alloy -- Forged Steel on the right barrel, so it doesn't say Fox anywhere on it. A bit later they engraved A.H. Fox on the sides of the frame.

Caleb,
Great looking SP! How is it choked? Another example of a plain SP with no engraving. Looks very nice.
