A. H. Fox's DH

[Mark Conrad]

There has been allot of attention on this forum about A. H. Fox and his DH. The records we have indicate the gun, serial number 88807 was ordered on August 9, 1898 by H.P. Collins in Baltimore. The gun is a 12/30 Titanic, with a straight grip and no safety. The gun was returned to Parker Bros. on September 18, 1900 by A. H. Fox to clean and rebrown the barrels and repair the action. There was no charge. The work was completed October 5, 1900. There is also an order on August 9, 1898 for a BH with 32 inch Titanic barrels that was cancelled. This order has consigned on the bottom which indicates he would not have paid for the gun. A serial number was not assigned to this gun. Note that the address is the same for both orders from Ansley. I have attached copies of the orders.
