My apologies charlie,
Much in the same vein of Philadelphia (PA) Foxes and Utica (NY) Foxes.
New Britain (CT) Foxes (Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company).

That’s different from the normal CE engraving right? What’s on the bottom?

Another New Britain Fox, this one a XE 20 bore that's out doing what she was made to do. Early/1995 gun (#26 gun made according to the order sheet) with Exhibition Turkish and a checkered butt, two barrel set with separate forends numbered 1 & 2 as are the barrels. This bird was taken with its 26-inch barrel, choked .003" (Fox-Cylinder) and .012".

The gun that started this thread was engraved much closer to the original "banner style" Ansley H. Fox C-/CE-Grade engraving that was used during the first couple thousand guns circa 1905-06 from the original factory at Wayne & Bristol Streets. Some examples --
