Frank, thanks for your concern on my gun. I have a bore gauge and was under the impression that the length of choke taper was the tell tale proof of originality, not the difference between the left and right constriction. Incidentally, both barrels taper for 3 1/8 inches and do so all the way to the muzzle ( skeet's bore gauge ). I am aware and have heard about Fox guns being bored "cylinder" and actually have .004-.007 thousandths constriction so perhaps that's what I have here. Yeah, I think this one is right as rain.

From the addition of the Sterlingworth to the A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalogue in 1911 --





to the last Savage Arms Corp. Fox catalogue in 1942, the chokes given for the 26-inch barrel guns (Sterlingworth Brush) was cylinder right, modified left. That said, all of them in my collection have anywhere from .009" to .013" choke in the right barrel.
