Default One of Ansley's guns may have surfaced?

http://foxcollectors.com/My%20Forum/...php?f=2&t=3743

Does any one here know if the records match up?

Thanks,

Will

If this Fox turns out to be the real deal this could be huge.

That is a gorgeous gun. Only thing that could make it better is if it were a Parker.

I got the card and the gun was FOR: A. H. Fox but I guess it could have been he ordered for someone else (business,friend etc.) does anyone else have a gun that was built for A. H. Fox it sounds like I need something else to prove it was his personal gun Any ideas

Was it ordered while Ansley was still with the company?

Intriguing that the closest to confirmation thus far is that the stock dimensions closely resemble two Parkers, one he had and one he cancelled. Regardless, a lovely double gun.
