Top XE 12ga 30" is new to my Fox den. It replaces the recently sold CE.

All the straight grips are coming home with you! Very very nice! Both of them.

Both of those are very elegant. Wish I had seen the CE you sold. Also a great gun.

Craig ,That is a pair of Beautiful Guns ! I wish my XE had that amount of Case Color remaining on it ! I'm like Garry ,I really like the XE Engraving patterns ! I would love one in 20 Gauge ! Congrats on your sale of the C and also on the purchase of the XE !

XE
 
What a beautiful gun. I guess we all knew there had to be something fantasic coming in in order to let go of that beautiful CE. Thanks for answering the question.

Stunning examples of American craftsmanship and a testament to unbelievable caretaking over the past 100 (+-) years. I’m looking forward to seeing them in person some day. Thanks for sharing.

I will bring the pair to the Southern. Lets try to get the parking lot gun show going again at Drakes Landing in 2024.

That's just a great pair of Foxes Craig! You probably don't know me from Adam, but I'm the other "Fox First" guy....I have a few, but never posted. I have a 1921 XE. Mine has rebates in the frame, and noticed your's don't. Can you tell me when they started adding those? What's the vintage of your's? I'll post pics of mine eventually. Once again, congrats on a fine set of XEs! I never get tired of viewing a fine looking Fox!

Beautiful, Craig. I love the subtle differences in the two guns ........ the difference in the cheek panel checkering, the difference in the checkering on the underside of the fore-ends, and the difference in the barrel wedge engraving. Little things like that speak to the uniqueness of each gun and make each individual special in it's own way.
