I have my Dad's Fox Sterlingworth that the owner orf the Packard dealership, where he worked as a salesman, gave him in 1919. I also have a research letter from John Callahan which states that the gun was shipped on February 26, 1919 from Fox's plant in Philadelphia to S.B. McMaster & Co. Columbia, SC.
He hunted everything with that gun & was the only gun that he owned that I remember. He carried it in the trunk of his car and over the years had become a little beat up. A few years before he passed away in 1974 I had the gun completely restored to "as-new" and gave it back to him. I can still remember the look on his face as he quietly remembered hunts, dogs and friends long past. That's the one gun that will never be sold.
Best Regards, George
