Do we know how many "Original" Fox Shotguns were Inlaid with Gold? Would it be Prudent to discuss this subject on an open forum? "Scribe McIntosh" & self' are"At Odds" over this subject! A couple of Photos to follow from the vault.

I remember seeing some "local guns" below D Grade that had gold on them. I often wondered about the originality of these guns. However, "local" includes Bartholomew, Strebe, and some other guys who owned Fox guns that some collectors would consider "over the top". How many Fox order cards mention gold inlay as part of the decoration, even on high grade guns? Murphy

DT, I'd be interested in picking up one of those "new" F Guns, preferably in Sterlingworth persuasion to match my ability to pay.
