Mr. Gegner shot no registered birds in Illinois from 1936 to 1940. He must have been a casual shooter, who shot a great gun.

Thanks Bill,
there seems to be a missing link in the history on this one, according to the serial #. 401700T, it would have been a 1929 gun, but the date on the shield is 1938 I hope to find out more information from Cody!

Tom,
will you let me shoot my new to me Ithaca SBT with you at Rock Mtn like we did last year?

I suggest we shoot the Ithaca's earlier in the day when we can actually see the targets, sound like a plan?

Stan

The cut of the Fox SBT used in all the A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalogs from 1919 through 1929 and the Savage era A.H. Fox catalogs through 1934 show a half-pistol grip. The Savage era Trap Gun folder and their 1935 A.H. Fox catalog show a full pistol grip monte carlo stock.

The only Fox SBT I've saved pictures of with a half-pistol grip is the very last one made, 400568 --

My Royal Gun Co. SBT (LEFEVER) is not a round knob but the contour is certainly semi-pistol grip

Stan, I'll check on our guy back in the twenties. Maybe I'll find something.

Thanks Bill,
I actually received my research form (not a factory letter) back this afternoon, I'm trying to put it up here so you guys can see it, it doesn't seem like this gun was special ordered by anyone as it passed through a few hands in it's first year.

The first date given is in 1928, then in 1930 it was invoiced and shipped to Billings Montana, and then possibly returned I guess, and then sent to Ohio, and then later invoiced again and delivered by John Boa at the Great American Handicap, all in 1930.

So it seems like this gun has been around, maybe not necessarily owned by anyone well known, the search continues

You’ve got it all wrong Daryl, I try to hang out with people that are well known,

like ride to South Dakota with them, get the police called on us when the vehicle leaves us set
