I think we do know the serial number of Nash's first big Becker. I think it was mentioned on the Fox website not too long ago.

The original has some pretty distinctive features, the opening lever being one of them. Would be a hard gun to fake in front of a Fox expert.
Best,
Ted

DT, who is consigning the #35 Eisenlohr gun? I offered to purchase it years ago from the "upbeat" Mr. Headrick when I offered to sell him the barrels, but he was not interested. I guess he didn't remember the offer when he decided to sell it. I guess it has passed through a few different hands since then. Bill Murphy

You never forget your first love or your last Becker Fox--even when the other guy buys it.

I was talking to a guy at my gun club today about Nash Buckinghams Fox...he told me Nash never owned or drove a car.
When people picked him up to go hunting he would be sitting on the curb in front of his house in Mid-Town Memphis with all his gear ready to go.

There is an excellent article in the new DGJ Index and Reader about Nash and B0-Whoop. It also mentions his old Hammer gun that he used in his early years. His initials are scratched on the pistol grip. A Duck Hunting friend of mine bought am old Hammergun of the same brand a few years ago from a Negro man in Mississipi. While cleaning it he found the same type of scratched NB under the buttplate as in the DGJ reader. We feel confident that it was Nash's first gun.
