George,Another thing is that it is a shame that Mike wasted the better part of a chapter in the book on Baltimore Arms Co. He should have covered the Fox Gun Co., Balto., Md. U.S.A., Thanks, Dave. Looks like I managed to make a post on this thread where everything I said was wrong. At least I didn't buy that broke down Baltimore Arms gun I saw at the show! I can only plead what I read. By the way Dave, I thought you were the one who did the research for McIntosh's Fox book???...Geo

Ivory Beads just sold one, for something less than $1395, with a bolt through the head of the stock.

Yes I did quite a bit, but there has been twenty-one years more research since that manuscript went to the publishers. The only chapter of the book Mike sent me for review was the chapter on Ansley's trap shooting career. When the book was due for a second printing I sent Mike six pages of errata, but all the publishers did was add the chapter on CSMC.

Mike
With the help of my wife I got some pictures of the gun posted. the last picture shows the rear site. If anybody needs a picture of something let me know I will try to post it. I sure need the practice. In my book it says that the grade is on the bottom of the barrel but the only thing I can see on one barrel is what looks like an X.
Let me know what you guys think

Certainly looks to be in the better half of the Philadelphia Arms Co. guns I've seen. Appears to be an A-Grade. Those checkered stock cheeks were not "standard" on the A-Grade, and we often suspect those of covering the repair of a split to the head of the stock.
Is there a seperate forearm for the second set of barrels? How are the barrels numbered? Is there a 2 under the serial number on the second set of barrels? On the forearm?
In A.H. Fox Gun Co. guns if a gun was built from the get go as a two-barrel set, there would be a 1 under the serial number on the primary barrels and forearm and a 2 on the secondary set. If a gun went back to the factory for a second set of barrels, the new barrels and forearm would have the 2, but the original set won't have a 1.
