Super Fox question. ..
 

I couldn't remember who the " Fox Guru "is, but this question is for you... We have a 1925 HE Super Fox 12 here. We also have some additional stampings on the water table refering to " A SPEC " and an A above the H. My friend was curious if this originally left the factory as an A Grade? Maybe an A Special?

Chris....could you show us a side view of the frame? Hard to tell from that pic but do I see engraving on the breech balls? Like you, just curious as to what, if any "A-Grade" styling this Super might reveal? :corn:

And Tool Man . . . and maybe a few others I neglected to mention. Looks like a very interesting gun.

Yes and he can request a letter as a joining member on the fox collectors forum

I'm a member of the Fox Association. Just need to renew my years past membership, as I am a Fox first man, then Parker... Here are more pics. It has been custom engraved, and the forend replaced. Not sure about the stock. This belongs to a friend who just bought it and he lives in MI, and I'm in AZ.

Both H Grade stamps and the 3 IN stamp look legit but I'd say the stylized A above the H stamp on the frame bar has been post factory/hand stamped, also the A-SPEC stamping. Possibly to coordinate with and validate the custom frame and barrel breech engravings?

Thanks Frank, that's what we're thinking

Kind of a grade 6 engraving pattern.
