I dont have it, nor do I know someone who has. O.K. thats out of the way.

Here is my question: Does anyone claim that this gun still exists?

From the books I have read about his River of Doubt expedition, Roosevelt mentions that "the Fox twelve gauge shotgun"( assuming this is the same gun as the Fox he took to Africa) was lost in the river along with all the other arms taken for the trip. Is that true, or did it miraculously survive?

Yup, it's out there. I have seen it. I have touched it. I will wait for more informed minds to reply. Murphy

Who purchased his hunting notes or diary that Orvis had up for auction this time last year?
