That is a lovely BE Fox! And just right to carry for birds (known as quail to none Southerners). I can't find a photo of my early CE two barrel set 12 gauge (with the most beautiful wood on a straight grip), but here are a few of some bird getters from my meager arsenal.

Wow Chris, that's a very nice gun and in 16 gauge to boot. Nice engraving on the barrels too.

Great looking Foxes, all of them! I'm not positive, but somewhere I heard the B grade wasn't as common as other grades, is this true? I heard talk that years of production were minimal?

Yes, not dissimilar to the Parker PH. But they are beautiful guns nonetheless.

A.H. Fox Gun Co. apparently decided to drop the B-/BE-Grade in late 1919. There are two retail price lists, one dated November 30th, 1919, that includes the B-/BE-Grades and one dated December 1st, 1919, with a large price increase and no B-/BE-Grade but includes the FE-Grade double and the M-Grade SBT.
1919 Retail Price Lists.jpg I have found both of these price lists in the 32 page "A Fox Gets the Game" pocket catalog which pictures the B-/BE-Grade. The "A Fox Gets the Game" pocket catalog that I have with a 1920 retail price list is 36 pages and doesn't picture the B-/BE-Grade. We do know from the records and observed examples that a few B-/BE-Grades were made well into the 1920s. |
