Bingo- we have winner- How in the blue bonnet blazes can a major auction house that specializes in high end guns make a FUBARed ID like that. I am not a Fox gun guy, but I'm guessing that is a 12 gauge high grade Fox shotgun, it's a rare .410 bore Parker like I'm Elton John's piano tuner. Now as to the prize- still working on that, but Bill, if you can spot the error I mentioned in the Madis M12 book, I'll gift wrap it for you. Fair enuf?? RWTF

Dang- any other book in my gunning library except my Gene Hill books and the Madis M12- I'll send you a PMS of the listing of books you can choose from- and since you are a gentleman, with eagle eyed vision for details, I'll give you (and anyone else here on Dave's playground) the answer. Madis was a perfectionist, top engraver for 30 years at WRA-here's the answer and an easy mistake to make--page 148- actress and damn good looking Blonde with an sweet M12 Trap gun (similar to mine) her last name is spelled "Sothern", not "Southern"-- a Sun Valley resident and a real first class Trap shot, just as Gary Cooper's wife Veronica "Rocky" was a CA State Ladies skeet champion- back in the era of Hollywood celebrities who enjoyed the Sun Valley Resort (as did Ernest Hemingway- "There you have it"-- I'll need your shipping address, and I'll send you a list of books from which you may choose one- OK?? Oh, kudoes to the K-Man who nailed the Lewis gun/Jap MG fiasco- but as the DoubleGunShop deals in double shotguns, and not WW1 Class 3 relics, I stepped over that and went to the A.H. Fox-Parker Bros. mix-up. Makes me kinda wonder just how legit RIA might be in terms of their sales and advertising policies- They have never heard of proofreading copy I might guess. RWTF

You're right it is a Type92LMG
I missed the unusual shape trigger guard in the catalog pic

No- not the DHE .410-- the DHE .410 with the single trigger-the shotgun shown on page 12 is clearly NOT a Parker, of any grade or gauge- where is the recessed hinge pin on this gun, which sure as hell looks like an A,H, Fox- not sure of the grade, but you can bet your ass it ain't a Sterlingworth.My guess-- a grade DE,and most likely in 12 gauge. Other than the H&H 12 bore with case and etc- this Fox is the most desirable of all the double guns shown on page 12- IMO. RWTF

I just looked on your behalf, Mr. Whelen- I can't seem to find any item numbers posted with the individual guns illustratedin the ads. when you do get your catalogue, page 12, right hand side column, 3rd. gun down from the top. RWTF
