AH Fox, Sterlingworth, 20ga

Description:
Released in 1910, the Sterlingworth was designed as the "working man's bird gun," utilizing the same reliable boxlock action and fluid steel barrels as the higher-grade Foxes. For this specific model, you can reference the Sterlingworth Directory hosted by the AH Fox Collectors Association to verify standard features and historical specs. [1, 2]
Your A.H. Fox Sterlingworth 20-gauge is highly collectible. Serial number #250239 places it as one of the earliest 20-gauge Sterlingworths manufactured (production of this gauge began at #250000). This model typically features 28" fluid steel barrels and weighs approximately 5.5 lbs. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] This was built in 1912.
Fox Sterlingworth 20-gauge shotguns were built for vintage shells. If you intend to shoot it, ensure the chambers haven't been altered (they are likely 2 ½" or 2 9/16" rather than modern 2 ¾" or 3") and use only light, low-pressure target loads or specialized vintage-pressure ammunition (such as RST or Polywad) to avoid damaging the stock and frame. You can also request a factory letter for the gun through the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. [1, 2]
It does NOT have the origial buttplate. There IS a chip on the stock. See ALL pictures.
