Dave no doubt has the details

A.H. Fox used a DH SN 88807 ordered on August 9, 1898 by H.P. Collins in Baltimore. The gun was a 12/30 Titanic, with a straight grip and no safety. The gun was returned to Parker Bros. on September 18, 1900 by Fox to clean and rebrown the barrels and repair the action, and the work was completed October 5, 1900.

He won the 1900 Baltimore Shooting Association Tournament in March and the Sportsmen’s Show Tournament in May
