A.H. Fox ''A'' Grade Custom Side-by-Side Shotgun with Two Sets of Barrels, #300011, 16 ga., 2-3/4'' chs., 26'' original A.H. Fox barrels stamped #1 with over-stamped proof by Savage, later 30'' Savage/Fox barrels stamped #2. Both barrel sets are blue finish with concave matted ribs, front and middle white beads, Full/Mod. Chokes, and serial numbered to match the frame; double triggers (rear trigger not working), ejectors and manual sliding top tang safety; case-colored frame assembly and forend iron are engraved with fine border highlights typical of early-style ''A'' grade engraving patterns; restocked with gloss-finish, highly figured American walnut having a round knob grip and deluxe checkered in a broad coverage eliptical style with checkered side panels; the 26'' barrels have a splinter forend and the 30'' barrels have a beavertail forend, both forends are numbered to the barrels. Length of pull is 13-3/4'' over a 7/8'' solid black Pachmayr recoil pad, weight with the 26'' barrels is 6 lbs. 3 ozs. Originally mfg'd ca. 1919. Overall exterior condition remains fine with 98% thin refinish blue on barrels and 75% bright recoloring on frame and forend irons; the 26'' barrels have two linear scratches and marring on the left barrel between the forend tip and the address. Stock finish is better than 98% with a few handling marks and small edge chipping along the lower tang. Barrels are tight on the face, bores are bright, action is generally good with repairs required to the rear trigger, left striker and cocking lever; frame and tang screws would benefit from refitting. Est.: $1,500-$2,500. (C&R)
