too bad it's missing a trigger
very nice - great wood for an A grade- the case may have been beat up- but it looks like it did its job protecting the gun.

Great find!! You'll see a lot of early A-/AE-Grades before you see one nicer than that!!
We can do some speculating on the single selective trigger, as the gun is from three or four years before the A.H. Fox Gun Co. began offering the Fox-Kautzky Single Selective Trigger. Was it a trigger fitted by Joe himself? An early experimental trigger? Was the gun back some years later to A.H. Fox Gun Co./Savage Arms Corp. for the trigger? Do you have a letter on the gun from the Savage Historian? For $40 Graded or $30 Sterlingworth (last prices I've seen quoted) you can get a factory letter on most any Ansley H. Fox shotgun (Philadelphia or Utica) from John T. Callahan Arms Historian P.O. Box 82 Southampton, MA 01073. The information exists on the factory work-order cards, probably 85+% of which still exist. Send him the complete serial number and a check, and he can do the rest. That would tell you the specifications of the gun when it left the factory. |
