Dave & Dean: According to Mike McIntosh's book "A.H. Fox, The Finest Gun In The World" pg. 44: "By the spring of 1900, Ansley Fox had broken away from his partners in the Fox Gun Company of Baltimore, and the parting was apparently rancerous enough that he refused to shoot publically with the guns that they'd built. When he went to New York to shoot in the Grand American Handicap, Ansley Fox took along a 7 1/2 pound Parker 12-gauge and a few cases of Trap Brand shells loaded with 3 1/2 drams of E.C. powder and an ounce and a quarter of No. 7 1/2 shot. The game was 14,000 live pigeons."
Best Regards, George
