The gun on the left, kinda looks Foxish.
The dark triangle at the tip and the V formed by the non-checkered portion of the fore end look right, as do the rounded ends of the latch. I'd go with Fox but reserve a life-line before declaring final answer.  Cheers, Jack SP Grade from 1934 The more visible gun appears to be a Fox. Also, nice looking dog and rooster. Picture taken in Sauk County Wisconsin on 1943 October 16

Thanks for the big picture Jack - I was unable to save it off any of the archives and thus post.
That being said, there are obviously two guns in the pic - and I hope someone who reads this can reference a book, etc. where it may mention his gun and/or guns. |

The wonders of the internet
Aldo Leopold: His Life and Work By Curt D. Meine, Curt Meine p. 193 excerpt (time period is 1921) The Tome Club became Leopold's main hunting grounds.....The latest in a long line of spaniels named Flick joined the outfit. Aldo indulged in a new shotgun, a beautifully engraved, .20 - gauge, double-barrelled Ainsley-Fox that cost the princely sum of three hundred dollars ("Three hundred dollars," Estella would later point out, "... and I needed a washing machine.")

When I zoom my Windows Internet Explorer up to 400% and look at the picture it appears the barrels are Damascus. If it is Damascus then of course it couldn't be an AH Fox.

Mike, I agree the barrels look to be damascus when zoomed in. Could just be the graininess(Sic) in the picture. That forend looks to be Fox to me. Not quite sure on the frame sculpting though.

I think I see the spiral of the Damascus in both barrels. Did Philadelphia Arms make Damascus barreled guns? At 400% it is kind of like looking at clouds and being able to see indians and dogs and horses but I think I see the hinge pin of a Parker or a Philadelphia Arms gun.
Best, Mike Edit: It doesn't look like the forend on the Philadelphia Arms gun on the Fox site though: http://www.foxcollectors.com/ah_fox/...phia_arms.html |
