You are bidding on a beautiful A. H. Fox A Grade 12 Gauge Side by Side Shotgun. The shotgun features a 32" barrel, factory engraving, and walnut stocks. Ansley Fox morphed the Philadelphia Gun Company into the A. H. Fox Gun Company in 1906 and announced a new line of shotguns, which were evolutionary developments of the gun he had designed for Philadelphia Gun. In Ansley's typical bombastic style, he proudly proclaimed that the A. H. Fox gun was, "The Finest Gun in the World" and it was advertised as such. In reality, it was based on a hammerless (concealed hammer) box lock action that used a barrel extension and a patented horizontal axis rotary fastener for locking and a top lever for opening. The double trigger mechanism is a simple trigger/sear/hammer design (the hammers were machined with integral firing pins) that promotes a clean trigger pull. The hammer style ejectors are coil spring powered. The barrels were built on through-lumps. A. H. Fox guns were strong, simple, durable, compact and reliable. The shotgun is in good condition, showing great case hardening and 85% bluing. The stock shows good condition with some slight cracks. This is a truly a great side by side shotgun. The shotgun was manufactured in 1925. It is a Curio and Relic firearm and requires a FFL transfer or NICS background check. The serial number is 30340.
