Sometimes the Foxes need to come out.

Very nice Reggie. Two straight grips which are not that common in Foxes. Please post these on the Fox site if you can.

Thanks for the positive comments. They are both 20 gauge guns (of course), straight stocks, splinters, double triggers. One is 26", the other 30". Original finishes I think. Very lithe and responsive!

Wonderful pair. Looks like the DE-Grade is the one Tom Kidd did an article on in The Double Gun Journal, Volume Three, Issue 1, pages 36 to 41.

A 30 or 32in 20ga Fox is just about the nicest pointing shotgun I own. Behind that is a 20 Lefever. But then again there is that 30in VHE 28. I could live happily ever after just shooting those 4.

Reggie, those are indeed two beauties. But at 26,” you’d better let me take that one off your hands . But seriously, a Fox small bore is an “all day” gun. I’ll bet they would be murder on Midwestern Bobs.

Love that fleur-de-lis checkering pattern unique to the D-/DE-Grade as shown in the 1913 catalog.
