The lines of the Ansley H. Fox double with just a bit of border engraving like the HE-Grade Super-Fox or the early A-Grades. Not a particular fan of the bold engraving that showed up on American doubles in the early teens. For high end ornamentation I prefer the Glahn family engraved Lefevers or the D & E quality Remington Hammerless Doubles. Really dislike those lightning bolts on the sides of the barrels of several of the companies' high-end guns.

My favorites are my graded Parkers with no engraving, a CH and a AAH. Second on my list would be very high condition V Grade and Trojan Grade guns that have never been hunting. Next on the list would be PH Twist guns that have, you guessed it, never been hunting. This doesn't mean that I don't respect my graded guns, but these less than normal collector guns are interesting too.

I'm also not a fan of gold treatment on shotguns, but I think the gold ovals on Parker B's and above is a very classy touch. I also think the same of the gold line on LCS ribs and the gold "R" and "L" on Fox single trigger guns. Normally gold bird dogs are over the top for me. But my Lefever E 8ga with the gold setter on the trigger guard is way cool and perfectly done.

All of a sudden I’ve gotten a taste for a Krieghoff K-80 in Bavarian or Danube grade . And I mean one from about 25 years ago not one of the present lazer engraved jobs .
