A.H. Fox XE 20 Gauge SxS
1 of 152, RARE, UNTOUCHED, 75% CASE COLOR, ENGLISH GRIP, DOCUMENTED
General Specs: Fox, Year 1924, 20 Gauge, 5lbs 11oz, Side-by-side
Serial Number: 202138
Pay attention Fox lovers…we have a very special Philly made Fox XE 20ga. here, sn202138 built in 1924, and it remains in “as shipped” configuration and untouched, factory original condition in every way. We have the factory order card on the gun and all features of this gun match the card precisely, with 75% factory case color remaining on the receiver, about 93% factory blue on the barrels, mirror perfect bores, perfect screws, 30% case color on the trigger guard, and the wood retaining nearly all the factory original finish. The card even documents the special order 2 ¾” chambers. The factory straight gripped butt stock is beautifully figured French walnut with good shooting dimensions (unlike the ones sold at the recent Julia’s ) no cracks or repairs, original factory Silvers pad, and strong factory original checkering. With only 152 total production, the Fox XE 20 gauge is truly a rare gun, and has all the features today’s shooter/collector wants to find in an investment quality double gun; solid unmolested original condition, great shooting dimensions, 26” IC/M #4 weight barrels (Fox’s lightest), with the gun weighing 5lbs. 11oz. and handling dynamics that makes it seem to float to your shoulder. As more guns see the touch of the restoration artists hands each day, these original, rare, useful Fox guns will continue to gain in desirability and value. This Fox XE small bore shows all the best features to be found in a high-grade Fox gun, including rebated frame, top of the action sculpted to the shape of the barrels at the breech, gorgeous deep-chiseled oak leaf engraving, and the lock screw at the top action screw. This gun is mechanically perfect with strong, well-timed ejectors, crisp double triggers, flawless auto-safety, barrels tight as new on the hinge pin and beech face, and lever well right of center. There are likely less than 50 unmolested Fox XE 20ga. guns left in the world that harbor all these most desirable features. If you ever dreamed of owning a righteous Fox XE small bore, this is your chance of a lifetime, so don’t let it slip away. Thanks for looking!
