C/Back that is one fine example of an early Fox! "A" Grade with 1st style engraving I think?...Geo
You got it George. That's exactly what it is. Although of course they aren't original finishes so diminished value for a collector. But I didn't care and neither does my dad or my son. We wanted the gun in condition to provide enjoyment for another 100 years.
Thank to the others for their kind words. My brother and I, at the same time as this gun, also had a Win M1894 SRC in Win .32 restored to as new condition for my dad. It had been bought new in 1904 by my father's other grandfather. And we presented the two restored guns to him at the same time. He loved what we had done for him. He gave the M1894 to my brother.
