A.H. FOX Model A made in 1906. This is a Philadelphia gun made prior to the Sterling buy out. This was the second attempt by Ansley Fox to produce shotguns and is prior to the addition of extractors. The gun shows wear to the wood and barrel. The barrel has outside pitting near the receiver, but nothing deep and fades farther down the barrel. The wood shows signs of use with moderate marks and dents. As noted in the photos it does have a hairline crack near the tang safety on one side, but the stock is still solid with no play. The shotgun locks up tight and the bores are bright with no signs of internal pitting. 12 Gauge

The pictures show an A.H. Fox Gun Co. A-Grade with serial number 19871 which cards as going to SD&G September 3, 1912.
