Fox Collectors

Hi all. New pictures on page two
New guy here.
My father bought this gun bout 20 years ago used, and now it has been handed down to me.
The serial number is 11621 A 2nd Philla PA.
I can't seam to find any info on what, how old, value, ect.
Happy New Year
Thanks

12 Ga. Double barrel

Is the assumption that it says AH Fox on it?

sorry
Yes. A H Fox

One thing you can do is request the card for it,

You can do that in the members section

By the serial number- about 1910 I think

What is the barrel length?

Of course condition makes a big difference in value, it would help members to give you opinions with clear photos

Thanks OH
I will get good pictures and measure the barrel tomorrow

Welcome Max. The factory card does exist for your gun. Are you a member of our growing asylum?? If so, you can request your annual complimentary look-up on the Member's Forum. If not, I'd urge you to join-up, if for nothing else to unlock the history behind a wondrous, family heirloom. Good luck.----SC

If the gun has a large 2ND stamped on the barrel flats it was deemed a second for some reason and was likely sold to an employee.

Wow... learn something everyday. Thanks Dave.

Yes It has a 2nd stamped on it
It has a 30" barrel
This shotgun must have stayed in the corner most of it's life because it's in really good shape.

This is the worst place on the gun

Well, to this novice it looks like a fun gun to own, and I'm sure that Ansley's "2nd" is better than many guns produced today. If it still works after 100 years the designation as a "2nd" just gives it a little character. Jeff

That is a very nice piece of wood for an A-Grade, and a straight grip was probably on less than 10% of the guns made. What is not to like!!

very nice inheritance Max

do you hunt?

Thanks guy's
I do hunt and this gun shoots.
I went Pheasant hunting with it once about 6 years ago.
It's in very good shape
