A vintage score!!! AH Fox 12 Grade A

[sirhrmechanic]

Found this stunning AH Fox Grade A with gorgeous wood. Tight as a drum. 28" Mod Full. Been looking for a non-Sterlingworth/Non Model B... for ages. That wasn't 3 grand! This one was sitting in a corner at an LGS (which had 25 Purple Ruger Single Action .22's apparently for Pride Month)... for 850 cash.

Winning!

Just amazes me at times, and good for us, that LGS's all over don't keep tabs on what is selling, and for how much, on the internet.

This shop has 2500’guns. 3-5 used. The rest AR’s and plastic. And purple Rugers.

It’s good when they don’t appreciate wood and blued steel!

As I scrolled the photo before I got to your words first thought I had was gun is tight, lol.

That is a nice find!

Nice shotgun.

We have a LGS that specializes in nothing but old shotguns.
They have an outstanding inventory of old guns.

Walked into a LGS yesterday and found a Daisy 2201 rifle. Not a super expensive piece, but somewhat rare. Shoots good too

Very nice! Reminds me of my Great-Grandfather's old L.C. Smith double, that still hangs over my Dad's mantle. I'm not sure what year it is, but he was born in 1877.

I'll give ya a few dollars for a quick profit. Wanna make a quick $50???

Thank you, my friend! It is better to be ‘tin arse’ than good!

I give $100

Very cool, what would you say market value is on one of these?

 

[sirhrmechanic]

I'll put some wood pix up later. Value... always what someone would pay. The values are depressed right now. Noone wants fine doubles any more. Except us boomers, I guess ;-) Everyone wants AR's and plastic. Which I like too. But fine doubles will never go out of style.

So... until a few years ago, 2K-3K all day long. Nowadays... about 1500 - 2000 for a nice one. And this is a nice one.

Anyone who wanted a fine Parker, L.C., Fox, Ithaca, Lefever... now is the time to get yourself one! Your grandkids will be shooting it!

Still searching for a Trojan 16... to complete the trio! Those remain high... because the Trojan 16 may be the best-shooting, best-balanced Amerian sxs ever made!

Cheers,

Sirhr
