Description:
A.H. Fox Sterlingworth 12 Gauge SxS Shotgun
PHILLY, 95% FACTORY CONDITION!
General Specs: AH Fox, Year 1922, 12 Gauge, 6lbs 12oz, Side by Side
Serial Number: 93891
Fox made A LOT of Sterlingworth 12ga. guns and you can buy them any day you want at reasonable prices. And why not? The Sterlingworth is the same mechanical gun as the finest Fox ever made. There is no doubt in my mind that the Sterlingworth is the very best buy in the vintage American double gun market. Most were "used hard and put away wet" gathering meat for the family, and hence the good prices. This gun, sn93891 made in 1922, is an exception as it retains a boat load of factory original finish. Even the varnish is factory original. You rarely see such a nice, unmolested 12ga. Sterlingworth, with 93% vivid case color, 98% factory barrel blue, and 98% trigger guard blue, perfect screws, not a crack or split anywhere, and as new factory checkering. Most all American 12ga. guns are well over 7 1/4lbs. When carrying a gun over hill and dale in pursuit of your favorite upland quarry, lighter is better! At 6 3/4lbs. (a full 1/2 pound lighter than most) it would be hard to find a better carrying gun than this one. If you are going to buy a Sterlingworth for the field and your favorite clays game, it would be hard to find a better purchase than this one, which is priced to sell and a grand representative of what a near new Fox Sterlingworth looked like in its day. A great investment gun that will grow in value as you enjoy its use. We can add a pad for more LOP or bend the gun to your specs within 15 days of purchase. Our in house gunsmith can alter chambers and chokes as well. Thanks for looking!
