The A.H. Fox Sterlingworth is the best buy in the vintage American side x side market!  The Sterlingworth is the same gun mechanically as all other grades of the A.H. Fox gun, having the fewest parts and smallest action of any of its competitors.  The Fox gun mechanism is utterly reliable, the locking mechanism simple and efficient, the barrels and action made of the finest steels of the time, the wood finely fitted to the action, checkering well cut, and the balance of the gun was superb. This fine Philly Fox, sn115123 made in 1927, is an exceptional Fox as it retains 99% dark, vivid factory case color, 98% factory blue on the #2 weight 30” M/F choked barrels, 99% dark factory charcoal blue trigger guard, and most all the factory finish on the wood.  This is a very high condition Fox!  The barrels are tight on face and hinge pin like a new gun, the bores are mirror bright, chambers are 2 ¾” with 1 1/2” long forcing cones done by VFI, a $440 service.  Modern chamber dimensions and long forcing cones make for safe shooting with softer recoil and better patterns.  The action locks up tight with a lever sitting right of center, the screws are perfect and all correctly clocked, the wood carries its original factory varnish with field marks.  Buy this gun with confidence!
