I hope I made the right decision!! H&H looks nice! #29537 03/06/07 02:45 PM

I spoke to him multiple times about it. At the time, it needed to be restocked and it appears that he had it restocked and now for sale. I could have got it for 17k plus the cost of the restock and importation. It is a 1930's gun. It sure looks good, what a beautiful piece of walnut! Did I make a mistake as I ordered the Fox about 8 months ago? http://www.guntrader.co.uk/GunsForSale/GunImages.php?NewGunID=070109174918631 Last edited by Kevin Springman; 03/06/07 02:55 PM.

I've never seen an H&H Royal marked that way on the bottom of the action. I wonder if that's one of the first self-openers H&H made? And just buy the H&H too - problem solved.

If you really want a Brit best SLE, this is a good one. But, "instead of - - -", only you know. This may be a lesson in the virtue of patience if you decide you did make a mistake. On the other hand, is this just "greener grass?"

I keep pulling up pics of Fox's and looking at pictures of my wood that I ordered, not to mention that it is -20 degrees outside.
