I stand corrected. For some reason, I had assumed it was an A H Fox gun. Had I simply opened these old eyes a bit and looked, I would have seen the Fox Sterlingworth on the action. ME BAD!!!!
Knowing this now, I would put it on the wall and think of some likely tall tales to tell about the reason for the barrel split.
Something about having to fire the only shell I had at an attacking bear. Maybe some sort of super magnum hand load. Killed the bear, by the way.
Best to tell this to the young folk, though. Sort of like having taps on the heals of your shoes. They make sparks fly when you walk on concrete and thusly makes you a super hero to kids. LOL
Best,
John
