The serial number dates to 1916 and subsequently extensively upgraded to its current "Special Grade" configuration with blued barrels featuring dual white bead sights on the matted concave solid rib which shows a gold inlaid bar at the base along with a flourish of scroll engraving, "KRUPP FLUID STEEL MADE BY" and A. H. FOX GUN Co. PHILA PA." marked on the right and left tubes respectively, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels both show a single band of engraving at the muzzle and a 3 inch wedge of floral scroll engraving inset with a finely executed gold inlaid lightning bolt. The barrels are mated to a casehardened boxlock action which displays "SPECIAL" in gold on the watertable and attractive floral scroll engraving incorporating FE style engraving to include a gold inlaid setter on point on the left along with a geometric design, a pair of quail in a field on the underside, and a mirrored gold setter on the right as well as a geometric design. The same gold geometric design is found on the toplever along with scroll work extending to the tangs and the triggerguard which shows a gold bordered pair of mallards in flight. The gun features gold double triggers and a tang mounted manual safety with a gold inlaid "SAFE" indicator. The gun is mounted with a lightly figured and fancy fleur-de-lis checkered snap-on splinter forend with engraved fittings along with a round knob pistol grip stock with checkered flats and a serrated hard rubber buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .618/.617 inches; choke constriction .010/.010 inches; minimum wall thickness .028/.029 inches; 1 7/16 inch drop at comb; 2 11/16 inch drop at heel; 14 5/16 inch length of pull; weight 5 lbs. 13 oz.

Very fine as professionally upgraded, retaining 99% blue, casehardened, and gold finishes with minor handling evidence and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
