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.
