SUPER FOX
My impression of the Buckingham Super Fox that I examined at Julia's was that it felt like a three frame Parker. I did not measure the breech dimensions, Craig's dimensions indicate it is between a 2 and 3 frame. The extra weight between the hands is in the barrel taper.
The internal dimensions of the Super Fox are given below, with three Parker competition guns for comparison. The Super Fox has a longer taper merging the forcing cone with the barrel. Best, Austin |

The early period guns 9 to 10lbs, the later guns 8 1/4 to 9lbs. The lightest I have recorded is 8lbs 2oz, the heaviest 10lbs 4oz.

Charlie, keep your nose to the ground. Our posters Craig Larter, Bill Murphy, Destry Hoffard, Don Kaas, and others have found nice HE guns in the not too distant past. You should get in the car and go to some big side by side events. Some of these guns never made it to the internet. At least two were bought at the Vintagers in the past couple of years. I bought my last one in the parking lot of the Chantilly, VA gun show. They are where they are and they have not all come out yet.

I wish I'd have bought mine in the parking lot. I had to buy it through an online gun auction and paid painful money but I'm happy with it none the less.
Along about the same time I bought a WC Scott 16 gauge hammer double that's marked Bogardus Club Gun for a huge bargain on the same site. So even there, sometimes deals are to be had. The barrels are 30 inch cyl and cyl chokes, should be murder on doves early in the season. Destry
