I agree about GBE. I have read some of his writing and I think I would have to meet him in person to form a good opinion.

Does anyone have a picture of the mark Becker used on the guns he worked on that they can share?

On the model 12 it was on the left side of the barrel near the receiver. Double guns were on the barrel flats. It is small and easy to overlook. He signed the guns he built completely like Nash's guns so I don't know if they had the stamp or not.

I figured I would post this here to help clarify some early histories. This is a letter that he wrote to Henry B about his 'history'. His personal notes and writings are a bit more comprehensive, but they are buried deep in a vault somewhere. I usually refrain from adding any comments on 'Fox' stuff as it just causes way too many issues. But, I am taking a break from "chasing ambulances to screw widows out of their dead husbands Fox Guns" (sic) and figured I would share a bit.

Burt didn't show up at the 1913 A. H. Fox Co. picnic list of attendees, and I have no payroll records of him prior to 1915???

Could be the “Line of the Year”. A knee slapper for sure!
