Fox Collectors

Congratulations! Looks like a nice shootable AE-Grade. Enjoy it.

That is extremely rare that a Sterlingworth letters with 24-inch barrels. We have recorded a handful of grade guns with 24-inch barrels -- August 2010, December 2014, and September 2026 Card of the Month. Come on Bill as far as "never say never" goes can there be anything mor outrageous th...

It is a "custom" gun by someone other than the A.H. Fox Gun Co.

Those may be the barrels and frame shipped to Smith Steen Co in 1921, but the Miller single trigger, the wood and whacking the barrels to 24-inches are all aftermarket work. The Sterlingworth was a "made for stock" "standard" gun with no deviations from the catalog specs. The Ste...

Dave, Thank you very much for the tabulation of rifle calibers. Very interesting. I could have guessed regarding the .32-40 and .30-.30 being the most prevalent given how often they are encountered when you run across one of the Drillings. Now to find that elusive 22 WCF with two and the rarest the...

I always enjoy Frank's posts. Thank you. I know my own tendency to rush and/or get frustrated so long ago I vowed to leave going inside our objects of interest to others.

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.

My invite from Chuck to shoot Balmoral seems to have gotten lost in the mail!

Not often two "new to me" high grade Remington Hammerless Doubles appear. A good picture of the barrel flats of the DEO to see if it is properly marked as leaving Ilion with those 3-inch chambers would be nice.

The ledger lists 114 as a 20x20x.25-20SS while similar 113 is listed as 20x20x.25-25 both Grade 2.

The Jostam Anti-Flinch, the pad that hasn't been reproduced.

Great stuff! Could you send some of that rain to Spokane County?

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 spec...

No Stan. R.W. Harris of Defuniak Springs, Florida. The same gentleman who gifted the A.H. Fox Collectors Association the photocopies of the production cards.

A question asked of me on another site caused me to tabulate the rifle calibers the Frank Hollenbeck designed drilling made in West Virginia came in from the ledger passed on to me by the late R.W. Harris. The ledger started with the Three-Barrel Gun Co. but includes the remaining inventory from the...
