The same dealer also had a Fox 12 A grade, with Krupp steel barrels, 28" DT, Ext. in the same good condition, which I bought--I thought I read that between the Fox (Phila mfg.) and the 18 pc. actioned Parkers, the Fox guns were somewhat simpler, and although they did not have rebounding hammers, their cocking system was fairly simple, and not as complicated as the 18 pc. Parker design. RWTF
