Description:
Fox, Year 1921, 12 Gauge, 7lbs 1oz, SN#25994
The CE Grade Fox is considered by most to be one of the most handsome of the A.H. Fox Graded guns, with its finely cut English scroll, game scene engraving, nicely engraved trigger guard, European walnut stocks figured well on both sides, and was the first level of decoration that is considered a high-grade Fox. There are many guns offered for sale so how do you know which one to buy? Most sellers do not provide any information on which to base a decision. A shotgunner should want to know specifics…stock dimensions, choke constrictions, minimum wall thicknesses, weight, balance point, trigger pulls…in addition to what the gun looks like in the pics. In fact, most of the photos of guns for sale show no real details of the gun. Don’t you want to know what you are buying? A lot of bad things happen to vintage guns over time, and most offered for sale at low prices have a reason for being “cheap”, like cracked stocks, dangerously thin barrels, short stocks with poorly installed non-period pads, bad stock dimensions making them impossible to shoot well for most shooters, pitted metal, loose ribs, barrels loose on face…the list goes on. Fox graded guns cost a good bit of money, and making wise decisions requires adequate information. This fine A.H. Fox CE, sn25994 made during the “golden years” of Fox in 1921, is an exceptional example of a Philly A.H. Fox CE Grade. The metal and wood finishes are FACTORY ORIGINAL WITH NO RESTORATIONS, the wood is very nicely figured European walnut with no cracks and excellent checkering and good stock dimensions. The 30” Chromox Steel barrels are #3 weight barrels with excellent mirror bores, 2 ¾” chambers with lengthened forcing cones, tight ribs, and barrels that fit tight to the hinge and breech face with the top lever well to the right of center. The figured walnut stock terminates in a fine Purdey style leather covered pad. YOU WILL FIND THE SPECIFICATIONS IN THE TABLES BELOW. We all should have at least one great 12ga. Fox in our quiver, and this one is set up for shooting your upland game and clay targets. Weighing just 7lbs. with its graceful 30” barrels, it is light enough to carry all day afield without getting the “long-arm syndrome” you get with heavy guns. The Fox CE gun with lots of condition are becoming very difficult to find, so they will continue to gain value as you enjoy their use. Thanks for looking!
