Yes. Those pictures were sent to me probably a decade or so before the Double Gun Journal article. Back when we were first discussing how to approach the BATF for an exemption for this "sawed off shotgun".

I well remember holding the "sawed off" in my hands feeling like I held the 'holy grail' of Foxdom as I admired it completely spellbound.
I may be wrong but isn't it a step above the Diana grade? .

The Diana was never a catalogued offering. That example was the prototype for it. So i suppose it cannot be a step above what is already is.

It was explained to me that it was made as an example to show the Fox 'officers' at the time, what the gunshop and Gough could create as the answer to Parker Bros.' Invincible.
