Factory Engraved A. H. Fox 16 Gauge BE Grade Double Barrel Shotgun with Order Sheet

The included copy of the factory order sheet lists the grade, gauge, chokes, stock, single trigger, dual sights, and weight when the gun was shipped on November 15, 1929, to Simmes Hardware Co. Built with dual bead sights on the matted concave solid rib, barrels marked "CHROMOX FLUID COMPRESSED STEEL" and "MADE BY A. H. FOX GUN CO. PHILA. PA. U.S.A." on the right and left respectively, small wedges of scroll at either breech, and chambers measured at 2 9/16 inches with automatic ejector. The barrels are fitted to the casehardened boxlock action which shows Grade B engraving consisting of floral scrollwork surrounding "ANSLEY H. FOX" in banners on either side and a pair of flushing quail on the underside. The gun features a single selective trigger and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is fitted with an attractively figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved iron and round knob pistol grip stock with checkered flats and serrated hard rubber buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .662/.660 inches; choke constriction .007/.007 inches; minimum wall thickness .030/.035 inches; 1 7/16 inch drop at comb; 2 5/8 inch drop at heel; 13 3/8 inch length of pull; weight 5 lbs. 14 oz.

ConditionVery good, retaining 80% original blue finish with some thinning and patches of brown patina, mostly silvered case colors on the action mixed with some brown, some handling evidence, and spotting. The wood shows a few small cracks at the rear of the forend and at the upper and lower tang; otherwise, the wood is very good with a few dings and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
