The stock was a skoosh loose . I’ve fixed that . The lever is a bit left and slightly bent , those two problems hopefully will be solved next week . The barrels might be reblued after the first of the year . And I’ll send the forend to a friend to take care the finial . The pad bothers me , I like the old Jostam pads but kinda hard to find in usable condition anymore . Both my guys here refuse to use Hawkins pads and to honest I never liked the look of them anyway . Might just get a Pachmayer Decelerator Old English until I come up with a better idea .

"10,xxx"...... must be a typo.

Traces of the original A grade engraving can be seen on the forend latch.
10,000 would be an early gun. When the A grades had the fine and sparse engraving.

It would pay you to become a member of the A.H. Fox Collectors Association; annual membership is only $30 and gets you one free factory card lookup per calendar year. If you joined that would get you a card on this gun free and answer many questions, since ancillary information on the details of the gun are frequently noted on the card. As a member, you would also qualify for succeeding card lookups at a nominal fee after your yearly "freebie", as well as receive the quarterly newsletter. This would answer many questions about the authenticity of this gun. It might also encourage you to reconsider restoration efforts (e.g., rebluing, etc.) in the event the factory card shows it to be a potentially rare, custom-ordered gun.
