A. H. Fox's DH

[Bill Murphy]

David, the stock dimensions of Ansley's gun seem to be 1 5/8 X 2 X 14, but I may have read the drop at comb incorrectly. Ansley must have thought it was not straight enough because the BH was ordered at 1 3/8 X 2 X 14. Notice the other famous names on those pages, J.A. Prechtell, the famous gunmaker, and Frank Novotny, an even more famous gunmaker. H.P. Collins was a popular Baltimore gun dealer and a prolific competition shooter who often shot with Ansley and other known shooters of the day. Thanks also to Dave Noreen who provided Michael McIntosh with the research material that, in turn, provided us with the addresses of the homes of Ansley and his father in West Baltimore.

Thanks Mark,
It's amazing to me how you read and interpret the information from these books. I'm sure it gets easier with practice but it is in no way easy.

Prechtell was a very accomplished gunmaker in Cleveland. He had studied under and worked for Frank LeFever.
