Upgraded Engraved and Gold Inlaid A. H. Fox "Special Grade" Double Barrel Shotgun

Manufactured in 1910 and subsequently upgraded to the current "Special Grade" configuration with blued steel barrels featuring dual bead sights on the matted concave solid rib, "KRUPP FLUID STEEL MADE BY" and "A. H. FOX GUN Co. PHILA. PA." marked on the right and left tubes respectively, and 2 5/8 inch chambers with a single extractor. The barrels display a single band of engraving at either muzzle along with two gold inlaid representations of scaled quail ahead of a gold band and 1 3/4 inch wedge of scroll engraving at either breech. The barrels are mated to a casehardened finished boxlock action which is marked "SPECIAL" on the watertable and displays scroll engraving surrounding small "ANSLEY H. FOX" banners on either side along with a pointer flushing a woodcock on the left, a setter flushing a quail on the right, and three more gold inlaid representations of scaled quail on the underside. The engraving continues onto the toplever, tangs, and triggerguard which is inlaid with a gold three letter set of initials. The gun features double triggers and a tang mounted manual safety. The gun is mounted with a beautifully figured and fancy checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings and an ebony tip inlay along with a straight grip stock with checkered flats and a leather faced rubber recoil pad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .729/.729 inches; choke constriction .031/.031 inches; minimum wall thickness .034/.036 inches; 1 7/16 inch drop at comb; 2 1/4 inch drop at heel; 13 7/8 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs. 3 oz.

ConditionVery good as professionally upgraded, retaining 85% blue finish with much of the loss on the triggerguard and lower tang, some traces of case colors in the protected areas with the balance a fine silver patina, ink fill in much of the engraving, and light handling evidence. The stock is very fine, with a few minor marks, some wear to the recoil pad, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
