Fox Collectors

I posted these inside another thread today, but since I bothered to set up the gear and take the pictures, I thought I would add them here to the Sterlingworth Grade Pictures Forum. I purchased this 20ga this past weekend. According to my book, it's an early 1930's gun, possibly the second serial number recorded that year? It's an ejector gun, has 28 in barrels, IC/Full chokes, short chambers, and dual ivory beads. I don't believe the stock and Beavertail forearm to be original, but they have been nicely re-done, and embellished with a skeleton butt plate and grip cap. I've been after a 20 gauge Sterly for a while now, and happy to add this one to my growing stable of Fox guns. Thanks for looking.

Original wood or not this is still a FINE looking Fox!! Lee.
