I don't know what your new Fox is costing kevin, but if I could affort 20 or so grand I'd have got the H&H, but as a Englishman ,perhaps I'm biased.
Hard to compare the two, I think.
But I'd always rather have a lovely older Gun than a lovely new one...especially a high end brit...nothing like a well cared-for vintage beauty, to my eye anyhow.
In the second pic, on the top stock horn[really the lowerleft] there seems to be a fair sized knot, about 1/2" or so from the end, looks like smaller ones on the bottom one...surley these aren't knots, are they?
Nice bit of wood though.
cheers
