Great find, beautiful.

Interesting hang tag for the 30" barrels
DuPont Oval was developed for the 1922 introduction of Western Cartridge Co.’s 12g 2 3/4” 1 1/4 oz. 3 3/4 Dram Eq. ‘Super-X Field’ which is likely the load specified.

Is that the same powder that played a part in the
development of the Super Fox guns?

Capt. Charles Askins and E.M. Sweeley published a series “Ballistics of the Shotgun”, and in April, 1922 Outdoor Life, “Late Developments in Guns and Ammunition” made reference to a "Special Fox gun"

DuPont Oval was the only powder used in the early Super-X line.
