Fox Collectors
The Fox Collectors forum was founded in 2006 to stimulate interest in the history and production of Fox shotguns. We believe you will enjoy our forum and learn more about the rich history of Fox shotguns.
Wanted to post pictures of my first 12 gauge Fox AE w/30" barrels purchased this week. Luckily the fellow that owned it for the last 80+ years was a pack rat like me and kept the box and original packaging. I do not own many 12 gauge guns but could not pass on this one, thanks for the opportunity to purchase it Kenny.

My guess is that this gun was made in and marked as a Philadelphia gun. The only thing Utica about that gun is the box. My 33,801 AE is Philadelphia marked as well.

The shape and checkering pattern of that forearm wood in pure Utica.
Congratulations on a great example!! That is a very striking piece of wood for an AE-Grade!! Was the Hang-Tag included in the box?
Wow! What a nice gun. Not the rarest of configurations, by any means, but the condition is just screaming. That gun looks as if it was hardly ever used, or handled. Maybe never even saw sunlight a lot. That is a beauty, thanks so much for posting the pictures. Aren't you glad you didn't pass that one up?
I'm jealous, but happy for you and your great find! Great photos, they remind me of Bill " Pop " Headrick's pics. Actually I like the AE grade over a lot of the higher grades, it's not too busy with the engraving. I'm shoot a 12 and a 16 Philly Sterly, I remember my first pull of the trigger! You just can't beat a Fox!!!!
