Dean, that line you said you crossed? I think you wiped it out!

You won't find a Sterlingworth any nicer.

Beware of some Fox guy waving a gorgeous Parker under your nose as trade material.

Sweet.

I've never seen a SW in that condition. It is the Holy Grail of Philly's best work, and the photos let us see something I personaly have never seen before.

You are lucky to own it. I could not shoot it though.

Oh yeah, I'm in love! That is gorgeous.

Edit: Perhaps the Parker crowd will take up a collection and PAY you to shoot for the Fox guys! (trust me, I know the feeling).

Dean, you can get a letter from Savage that will give you the specifics on the gun.

Dean,
1926, and if you don't have the list put out by Galazan some years ago on production years I will send it to you.
But, wow, nice gun! Would look great in my safe next to my 16s, yes Foxes!

Picked up a Sterly “trap” 32”, 12gauge a few months ago, in 90+% condition. It looks like a beater next to this gun of yours Dean! Going to try this gun on windy day pass shooting Whitewing’s!

I just got around to measuring choke constriction on this little twenty-gauge Sterlingworth.

Right choke = .020"

Left choke = .038"...


If this were a Parker I would enter it into the "People's Choice Award" Waterfowl Guns at the Annual Meeting.
