Hello everyone! Just picked up a nice Philly Sterlingworth. Great case colors and almost perfect wood. My modern shooting friends would not appreciated it, but you folks will! Thanks for looking!

Nice gun. The wood has been refinished and the checkering pointed up. Original Philadelphia Sterlingworths had flat-topped checkering.

Appreciate the comments! Never knew that about the checkering! I guess that is why I joined the collectors association...
Thanks for the help!

You are not alone. I refinished the wood and pointed up the checkering on my first, and only, 20-gauge Sterlingworth.

Yes, the wood on the gun has been refinished. The blue and case color appear to be original. It is hard to replicate those Fox case colors correctly.

Welcome Aboard,
I've always said that collecting A.H.Fox Shotguns is.like eating potato chips. You can't stop at just one!
