Manufactured by Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing as accurate continuations of the storied A. H.

FOX" and "CHROMOX FLUID STEEL" marked in gold on the right and left respectively, 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors, and 1 1/2 inch wedges of scroll engraving at either breech along with single gold bands. The highly attractive casehardened scalloped boxlock action displays beautiful tight scroll engraving with floral bouquets, gold inlaid "A. H. FOX" banners on either side, a nesting gold inlaid woodcock on the left, a pair of gold pheasant roosters on the underside, and a gold quail on the right. The scroll extends to the toplever, trigger guard, and both tangs, the lower of which has the hand engraved gold inlaid serial number. The gun features a pair of gold plated triggers and a tang mounted manual safety switch with gold inlaid "SAFE" marking. Exceptionally well-figured, fancy fleur-de-lis checkered beavertail forend with engraved fittings, including the Deeley style release, and diamond cross section straight grip stock with matching checkered flats and bare butt. Includes an oak & leather takedown case with canvas cover, nickel snap caps, nickel oiler, and cleaning rod. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .616/.616 inches; choke constriction .015/.008 inches; minimum wall thickness .041/.040 inches; 1 7/16 inch drop at comb; 2 3/16 inch drop at heel; 14 9/16 inch length of pull; weight 5 lbs. 15 oz.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue, casehardened, and gold finishes with limited handling evidence and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. The case is very fine. Mechanically excellent.
