Like Mr. Parker, Ansley didn't know how to build a cheap gun. Most all are pretty much the same minus the embellishments and quality of wood IMHO. ENJOY!
Best Regards, George |

Jack, Ive got a 16ga sterlingworth made in 1927, It like yours has a wooden grip cap. Ive looked for an original or repro sterlingworth grip and they seem to be hard to come by. I ended up deciding the wooden one looks better anyway. The original was just plain black dome.

Brent for the later foxes they used an grip cap almost identical to the L. C Smith smooth cap. It will require a bit of fitting and polishing but will duplicate the original.

Maybe it was a brief flirtation with after market shotgun bling of the era.

Jack, I had some photos of that Sterlingworth sent to me about a month back and considered buying it. In my opinion the stock itself was a replacement, though I'm not an expert and some here could set me straight. I didn't think the stock cheeks were defined enough and the checkering didn't appear to go close enough to the grip cap. The grip checkering panel was shaped a bit wrong too.
Since we're telling secrets I'm also a Fox Collectors Association member and have a few 32" Sterlingworths and several 30" pin guns. Excellent guns for the money they're going for, especially up here in Canada. They are great on clays, but for some reason I always seem to have a Parker in the goose blind. |
