Eldon,
There is nothing wrong with the later Savage Fox Sterlingworths but in my opinion from a beauty standpoint the Philly guns and the very early Utica guns still using the old stock of parts are the most beautiful I think. I like the slim splinter forend as compared to the bulkier one, the slimmer opening lever as opposed to the tall one, the early type safety instead of the big later one, and the grip cap not found on the later guns. So I think the later Savage ones are worth some, maybe considerably less. Just my 2 cents. So you've got to determine at what you are looking.
