I have no idea what the significance of this is. It does have the normal Sterlingworth receiver. It's hard to believe that a gun this old has had so little use.
My guess is that it had been sitting in a closet for many decades. After a call to my resident Fox collector, I gave him the cash.
It has been on an Adirondack vacation for the last couple of years and now its home to stay. I have a 16 gauge double barrel Fox-Sterlingworth with the serial number It was a gift and I don't know much about it. I know it is from the early thirties based on the posts here but I have no idea what it is worth or when it actually was made. It is a Utica gun and it is in very nice shape. If anyone can give me any idea what it may be worth and when it was made I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you! The DelGrego family specializes in Parker Bros. I doubt they would have refurbished a Fox. The Savage factory was doing refurbishments into the late s and then that business was spun off to Mitzie Bielin, much like Remington spun off Parker and Model 32 work to Larry DelGrego.
Mitzie didn't have a family of a mind set to continue the business like the DelGregos. I have a very used 16 ga Sterlingworth serial Still shoots fine and is a great lightweight gun. I have a couple of questions: How do I determine the choke of the barrels and what is the proper way to measure barrel length? Latest Post: Merry Christmas everybody!

Larry, According to my tables of observed Sterlingworths the gun you had, that I first saw when George Korbel owned it, was , the lowest serial number "flatside" gauge Fox-Sterlingworth I've recorded. Dave Reply Quote. Topic starter Posted : January 6, am. The oval with the SP is Savage Proof. Posted : January 6, pm. New Member. This gun is not a fancy grade gun.
I have had the gun for over 3 years. When I purchased the gun I sent it to a gunsmith and it was inspected and deemed safe to use. There also seems to be a similar gap in the gauge Sterlingworth guns that isn't taken into account in the A. Fox Gun Chronology. There is some evidence that would point to the first prototype gauge Sterlingworth being and the first production gun The lowest serial number I've recorded is The old, and as often as not misleading, Lightner Library produced serial number chronology gives as the highest serial number reached at the end of Offered is perhaps the best all original Philadelphia Fox Sterlingworth 20 gauge shotguns that you are likely to find.
It is also the rare ejector model Sterlingworth. Serial Number was produced in early most likely during the Savage Arms buy out of the Fox Company.
