Dave will surely give me 20 lashes but if I had to pin the tail on a calendar, I'd say it would read 1907ish. Ansley was shipping guns in the back half of '05 but production numbers weren't anything to write home about. Remember too, that unlike Parkers, Fox serial #'s do not sequentially correlate to ship dates. Often, on a page of ten production cards we'll see a 2-3 year span on ship dates, sometimes more. That's an early gun and most likely built like a Panzer tank!!
