Fox, Year 1929, 20ga, 5lbs 12oz, SN:262579
 

I have a treasure here; a 1929 Philly Sterlingworth, sn262579, that has over 85% factory case color, 99% barrel blue, 99% trigger guard blue, 26" #3 weight barrels, mirror bores, great wood with factory butt plate.  The mechanics are perfect, the 26” # 3weight barrels are tight on the hinge pin and breech face with double ivory beads, the top lever is right of center…this is an amazing little Fox Sterlingworth.  Weighing 5lb.s 11oz. and perfectly balanced on the hinge pin, it is a delightful little bird gun that will appeal to both the collector and the upland hunter. Please see the factory letter that indicates the special open choking…a killer close range bird gun that will crush at skeet as well. It is the perfect quail, grouse, woodcock, pen-raised pheasant gun!  Guns with this much factory case color, perfect screws, and beautifully restored factory wood are becoming near impossible to find and will continue to grow in value as fewer and fewer are available to purchase.  The gun has 2 ¾” chambers and needs nothing but a date at the range or to the uplands.
