The mechanics are crisp with tight lock-up, clean triggers, and positive ejector/extractor function. All serial numbers match and confirm originality.

Historical Note
This shotgun was produced in Philadelphia during the early 1930s — considered the prime production era for A.H. Fox Sterlingworth guns. With its longer 30″ barrels, classic shooting dimensions, and light 6 lb 8 oz weight, it is equally suited for upland hunting or as a collectible representation of Fox’s golden era.
