Traces of the original A grade engraving can be seen on the forend latch.
10,000 would be an early gun. When the A grades had the fine and sparse engraving.

It would pay you to become a member of the A.H. Fox Collectors Association; annual membership is only $30 and gets you one free factory card lookup per calendar year. If you joined that would get you a card on this gun free and answer many questions, since ancillary information on the details of the gun are frequently noted on the card. As a member, you would also qualify for succeeding card lookups at a nominal fee after your yearly "freebie", as well as receive the quarterly newsletter. This would answer many questions about the authenticity of this gun. It might also encourage you to reconsider restoration efforts (e.g., rebluing, etc.) in the event the factory card shows it to be a potentially rare, custom-ordered gun.

Craig, you were probably very close to getting a free Fox Collectors appraisal, but...

I did and already asked for whatever info is available on the old beater . Might have to do the same on my Robert Montgomery 20 gauge Sterlingworth . Robert Montgomery was about a B grade actor from the 20’s and 30’s , his biggest claim to fame was being Elizabeth Montgomery’s father . She was the actor that played the witch on the TV series “Bewitched” .
