There are floral scroll designs around the scenes. The trigger guard and break lever also feature floral scroll engraving. Each side of the action is marked "ANSLEY H FOX". The top breech end of the right barrel is marked "CHROMOX FLUID COMPRESSED STEEL" and "MADE BY A.H. FOX GUN Co. PHILA. PA. U.S.A." on the left. The lower tang, water table, barrel flat and inside forearm hardware are marked with the matching serial number. The barrel flat is also marked "C" and the forearm hardware is marked with the four line patent date marking. There is a single brass bead sight on the matte concave solid rib. 2 9/16 inch chambers, chokes gauge at extra full/modified with ejectors. Double triggers, tang mounted automatic safety and mounted with a multi-point checkered walnut splinter forearm with ebony forend insert, and pistol grip stock with checkered flats, horn grip cap and serrated horn buttplate.
