A.H. Fox Gun Co., Philadelphia, PA
A.H. Fox Stirlingworth Deluxe 16 ga with auto ejectors , 28” barrels with twin ivory beads bored modified and full, excellent mechanical condition, and perfect bores. It is a very pretty little gun in very nice 95% condition. The action retains 90% bright original factory case colors and the barrels 98% original blue. The floor plate has more than the usual amount of engraving and the trigger guard looks to be from an early A grade. The stock has been expertly refinished with hand rubbed oil, and an expertly shaped beavertail forend fitted. Characteristic of Deluxe grade guns the walnut stock is nicely figured and of better quality than normally found on the standard field grade Stirlingworth. Dimensions: LOP over a solid one inch pad is 14”; D@C is 1 1/2”; and D@H is 2 1/2”. Weight – 6 lb 8 oz. Serial #370551 (1935). _$2,550 (Pics)

Parker Shotguns, Meriden, CT
Remington Arms Co., Ilion, NY
Remington Model 1900 K Grade 12 ga with 29” fluid steel barrels bored modified and improved cylinder – mint bores. I am convinced these are original 29” barrels. Over all there is about 95% original finish but shows a few handling marks and toning. Slightly faded case colors are about 92% but most remain bright and vivid. Barrel blue remains about 98% with some toning of color. Stock varnish is also 98% with no chips, dents or abrasions. The monogram buttplate is near perfect. About as good as you will ever find in a 120 year old gun - absolutely original in every respect. Weight = 7lbs 2 oz. Stock dimensions: 13½" x 2" x 3". (SN 316505) A true collector quality gun. __$1600. (pics)
