the border engraving on a Sterlingworth is a basic zigzag pattern, with the word Sterlingworth on the side. Birds on factory engraving start well up the scale of grades, but could have been added.

The serial number and "birds engraved" are two conflicting features. Tell us more when you see the gun. Ejectors will be identified by the feature itself, not by a marking.

Birds on a Fox usually mean a graded gun. If you join their Forum, you get one free look-up per year

Just got back from my trip to see fox shotgun. It is just what you described .It isn't what was told to me by the fella. It was a nice drive so not all day was lost. It would make a great little bird gun for youngster or lady because l.o.p. was fairly short. price was 1100.00. Have a great day. Thomas L. Benson Sr.

Hold on just a second. "What we described" is a gun without engraving if the serial number is as posted, or a higher grade if birds are engraved at the factory. Which is it? We are trying to help and I, for one, think that a 20 gauge Fox of either graded or Sterlingworth configuration is probably worth $1100.00. Let us know what you really found.

so - it was a 20 bore Utica Sterlingworth - maybe not right for you - but at $1100 -will be a good buy for someone
