My thoughts are also a custom gun. Done a long time ago by the looks of it.
It is an attractive gun and very well done. It just started as an A grade and went from there.
The major thing about the engraving that does not look like anything that would have come out of the factory is the work crossing over the trigger plate and the frame vs. using borders to define the different parts.
And the grip and checkering looks to be i spired by Lefever, Ithaca and maybe a touch of a few others too.
Interesting find. A card request with the Fox group would tell you the story for sure.
