Description:
An absolutely impossible gun to improve upon for original condition and being totally untouched and correct, this 12 ga. made with 2-5/8″ Chambers. 30″ Bbls with broad matted rib, are marked “Krupp Fluid Steel Made By” “A. H. Fox Gun Co Phila Pa” on tops. Bbl flats are stamped with grade and SN; Bottoms of bbls with striking weight “2”. Case hardened action with automatic safety and dbl triggers is engraved in early simple “A” style with a few sprays of scroll within wavy borders. “ANSLEY H FOX” is on both sides. Blued trigger guard has SN on tang. Lightly fiddle figured European walnut round knob pistol grip buttstock measures 14-1/4″ over ribbed composition buttplate. Point pattern checkering with beaded borders is at grip. Matching splinter forend has Deeley type release. Bore diameter: left -.730, right – .730. Bore restrictions: left – .037 (full), right – .021 (mod). Wall thickness: left – .030, right – .031. Drop at heel: 2-7/8″, drop at comb: 1-11/16″. Cast about 1/4″ on. Weight: 7 lbs. 6 oz. LOP: 14-1/4″. PROVENANCE: Estate collection of Dana Tauber.
Overall, the gun is exceptionally fine. Bbls retain over 95% of their lustrous early type blue with only a few handling marks, mostly on rear portion of right bbl. Action retains over 95% of its watery orig case color, silvered a bit on fences and thumbpiece, thinned a touch on forend iron and bottom. Trigger guard and forend latch retain nearly all of their blue. Stocks retain nearly all of their orig finish with numerous light marks, mostly on left side of butt. Checkering lightly worn. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. A truly superb 112 year old Fox.
This exceptional early Fox was the single finest example Dana Tauber could source in his many years of collecting Foxes before his untimely passing in 2017. This great gun is priced at $6895 plus shipping to your FFL. Please dont hesitate to contact me at (704) 280-2382 or via PM on this site with any questions or reasonable offers.
