Sterlingworth

[C.O.B.]

Dad if you buy another new /old gun Mom is going take you to the woodshed. You won't get away with just a new mix Master....on the other hand those 32 in tubes would be great out on the prarie, you know to keep the gun moveing. the follow through will result in more birds in the bag then on the table as dinner so you might pass it off as a grocery getter.

I shot my first gun with 32 in tubes today at sporting clays. An Ithaca 4E vent rib trap gun. She can smoke a target when I do my part which wasn't very often but hey we just started dateing

Been in that woodshed before I'm struggling now. 32" a bit rare. play budget can do it. Already in Canada, so the extra 400 tagged on to bring one from the south isn't a factor. What to do, what to do.......
Cheers,
Jack

Jack, I think you are answering your own question here.... I believe you found a keeper. Post pics when you get the gun

Yup Jack....Sounds like you already bought the "Ol Girl" It's just a matter of giving the guy the dough. See I knew it was gonna live at your house....

Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Buy it now deal with the woodshed later. Mom will forgive you, I just know it.

One can always sell but one cannot always buy...

Like Mr. Parker, Ansley didn't know how to build a cheap gun. Most all are pretty much the same minus the embellishments and quality of wood IMHO. ENJOY!

Best Regards, George

Jack, Ive got a 16ga sterlingworth made in 1927, It like yours has a wooden grip cap. Ive looked for an original or repro sterlingworth grip and they seem to be hard to come by. I ended up deciding the wooden one looks better anyway. The original was just plain black dome.

Brent for the later foxes they used an grip cap almost identical to the L. C Smith smooth cap. It will require a bit of fitting and polishing but will duplicate the original.

Maybe it was a brief flirtation with after market shotgun bling of the era.
