I did pass up the Fox even though it was a very nicely engraved model with good wood but the left barrel repair worried me. I didn't measure the metal thickness but there were 5 or 6 pits from dent repair that looked bad. The other fault was the lever return spring which was much too strong. That could be fixed but the barrel would have been a killer. Thanks for your imput!! As for price, when you find a nice Fox bargan, call me!!! (If you don't want it yourself!) David
