This A.H. Fox Sterlingworth in 12 gauge is a true American classic—built in 1926 during the highly desirable Philadelphia production era before Savage Arms acquired the company in 1929. This is the period collectors and shooters chase, representing original A.H. Fox craftsmanship at its peak.
Configured with 30" side-by-side barrels, this shotgun delivers a long, smooth swing ideal for upland hunting and classic wingshooting. The weight and balance of a 30" double provide excellent follow-through, making it a natural performer on flushing birds and passing shots.
The Sterlingworth is known for its rugged simplicity and durability—featuring a strong break-action design, dual triggers for instant choke selection, and a tang safety for intuitive operation. A.H. Fox doubles earned a reputation for being among the toughest American side-by-sides ever built.
Chambered in 12 gauge and equipped with fixed full and modified chokes, this shotgun is optimized for versatile field use. The modified barrel handles mid-range shots effectively, while the full choke extends performance beyond 40 yards—ideal for pheasant, waterfowl (with appropriate loads), and upland game.
This example shows honest use with a likely replacement buttstock, noted by a slight gap at the tang/trigger guard interface. It remains fully functional and presents as a solid field-grade Philadelphia-era Fox—an excellent opportunity to own a piece of American shotgun history without collector-level pricing.
