The original set has been cut to 22 3/4" and the add on are 28".

Here are some additional photo's. I am not much of a photographer so these are as good as it gets.

Interesting. Both foreends appear to be Sterlingworth foreends because of the checkering pattern and also because the foreend escutcheon is engraved as a Sterlingworth escutcheon. Does the ejector foreend have the same serial number as the frame? PS. I love a bit of a mystery.

The early style snap-on/-off forearms on A-/AE-Grades had the same checkering pattern as Sterlingworth forearms. My A-Grade 20-gauge 200158 --

But that escutchin shown does appear to have Sterlingworth engraving.

My 1936 vintage Savage-era A-Grade 16-gauge got a quite similar piece of wood --

The gun has all matching no's.

My brain is getting old. I have an early A grade 16 gauge with snap on forearm and it does indeed have the same checkering as the Sterlingworths. I hate mental cramps.

Dose anyone know what the standard chamber length on one of these is. I think I will try some dove hunting with this one.

Should be 2 1/2" since both barrels were made in Philly.

Twisted Fox minds often think alike, Tom.

Wayne--Just out of curiosity, was the 1915 ship date stated on a factory card/letter? Great snag BTW!

They most likely left North 18th Street and Windrim Avenue with chambers 2 3/8 inch long intended for the 2 1/2 inch 20-gauge paper shells. The only two A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalogues that I've seen that mention chamber lengths are the 1913 and 1914 --
