Robin ,I looked in TPS also and could find nothing ! I did a search on our site and found a couple of threads but no good clear information ! Interesting option on a shotgun in my opinion ,although for long hikes back in to a good hidden area ,I could see where they could be a plus but in the actual hunt I believe I would remove the sling and put it in my Game Bag !!

Russ the pictures Larry sent are from the gun I mentioned. Saves me the big dig into the back of the safe:rotf:

The Europeans put swivels on shotguns but it's a rare request this side of the pond. Maybe the original owner was a waterfowler (although my gun is a 20) or perhaps an immigrant from Europe where the swivels were more common. I hope your letter will address this option.

In the Fox records there are a few orders for sling swivels throughout, but most are on guns in the large orders by Martin Kohn the big dealer in Havana and L.H. Hagen the dealer in Norway.

I have seen several Parker orders for swivels, but have not tied an order to a gun. I think the European barrel mount with screws and Winchester style hook loops and the screwed in hook loop on the stock are the most likely original type.

Bill ,I always value your opinion ,what do you think of the ones on this PH Factory or not ? I am going to order a letter but its fun to figure ,and I figure factory,we will see !
