The ad said AH Fox 32” in bad shape, a “Super” find.

I got the letter from the Fox folks, I did not realize that is a dotted line to Cody.

Brian, I admire your willingness to bring these old beauties back life. Not many people are willing to invest money into an old gun without being certain they can make it up on the other end. I hope that came out the right way.

Any relation to "Buffalo" Bob Smith of Howdy Doody Show fame?

Sent some simple pics of mine

I’ll have better ones soon as I’ll be listing it

But. I’ll ask more than 250

Yep that was a straight gripped gun and only had surface rust on it. It cleaned up nicely, but boy were the pictures bad

I examined the gun and determined it was only coveres by thin rust dust and told the shop owner it would easily bring over $7k. He doubled me but it did clean up extremely nicely with about 90% original case color and 95% barrel blue and sold for over $10k.

Yeah you and I were on the phone at one point

I didn’t remember the final total, I dropped out a little after 8k

Great little shop in downtown Boston that I frequented in the early 80's while attending the Boston College Country Club. My brother owned a store on Summer St. (a few blocks from Smith's) where I'd work on Fri/Sat and blow most of my paycheck in Bob's bijou flyfishing department. I believe the firearms were long gone at that point. What a shame.

Good luck with the BO-WHOOP resurrection Brian!

[Brian H]

Coming right along. Add the word safe and a few finishing touches and off to case color.

Enjoy your weekend Parker friends

Very nice, excellent work!!
