A gun store owner that I have bought a few side x sides from recently decided to call me and offer a Fox Sterlingworth. He said it was in good condition and had a single trigger and ejectors with 30" barrels. I asked what he wanted for it and he gave a reasonable price for a Sterlingworth. Well without seeing the gun I thought a Fox in good condition with a single trigger and ejectors ought to be worth at least what he was asking, so I said send it. I don't see very many single trigger Foxes.
The pictures are what he sent me;
an all original first generation A grade ejector gun with a Kautzky single trigger, even the butt plate is in great shape. The gun is choked extremely full and full and has 2-5/8" chambers. The bores are shiny with #1 barrels.
It has several handling marks in the wood, but that's to be expected for a gun made in 1911. It came in a period leg-o-mutton leather case that has seen its better days. The barrel blue is about 98% and it has about 60-70% case colors left and as you can see the wood is just gorgeous.
You just never know what you're going to run across out there.
Sterling-What?
