Rich is right. I wouldn't sell my V Grade Parker for what he paid for his FE.

Charlie, I had a wonderful Stevens-Montgomery Wards .410. However, someone paid me $950 for it at the Baltimore Show. I just couldn't turn that down. No one was more surprised than I was.

A Parker 410 just may be something I live without. A 28 gauge is high on the list and that is expensive enough. I have a Superposed with 410 barrels, courtesy of a member on here, and that is enough

I have 3 Sterlingworths and an A Grade in the cabinet, all original stocks and all of them have less than 2-3/4" of DAH (most are right around 2-5/8").

Forgot mine was engraved by Jimmy Dimuck (?). On the barrel rib it is inscribed "Made to Order Commissioner Mike Zagata who I was told was part of the RGS board of directors.

Beautiful guns, don't believe I've ever seen yours before Rich. I put the CSMC Foxes into the same category as Parker Repros--not a put down I admire/would love to have either but cant call them original in my mind. Craig, a fantastic day with 5 grouse, where were you hunting? You don't need to give GPS coordinates, just which state. I have been quite fortunate in taking a 5 bird limit several times( UP). This past year I took a friend with his BHE repro w/ 16 ga Kreigoff barrels out and tried hard all day to get him into birds, and at the end of the day, he had 0, and I had 5 with the little VHE 20 . Some days things just fly your way.

Harold the grouse were shot in northern Maine two years ago. My best memory with the Fox was a limit of Sharptailsl shot over my now deceased lab Tess in ND. The grouse were shot over my lab Lucy when she was just one. Gosh I love to hunt with a great gun and dog.

Given the choice between great dog or great gun, I would take the dog. To have both is the icing on the cake. I too, have been blessed with both.
