Greetings Mates,
I met a young man last summer in Montana who wanted to buy an old double. We had some discussions and apparently he has recently acquired a Fox. I am pasting from an email he just sent me:
I just picked up an A.H Fox A Grade in great condition. The gun was built in 1906, all original wood, ejectors, original double ivory beads, 85% bluing, very little case hardening, and not a single ding, scratch, or scuff on the wood or the steel. It is chambered in 12 GA. and has 30" Krupp fluid-steel Full/Full barrels. The wood is highly figured maple and completely original. The butt pad is after market--just an old waffle pad. I bought it at a gun and knife show for $1,100. I do not want to sell it but I do want to get some idea of its value. Can you help?
So, I throw it to this group of experts. Thoughts?
Best Regards, Jake
