Long ago, Bill Headrick told me, that at the time the A.H. Fox Gun Co. added the Sterlingworth to their "Campfire" catalog (1911) and began calling it the Model 1911, they for a short period of time marked graded 12-gauge guns Model 1910. Also, the "small-bore booklet", probably produced for the introduction of the 16- and 20-gauge Fox shotguns at the A.H. Fox Gun Co. tent at the 1911 Grand American Handicap, calls the small-bores Model 1912. I've never seen a small-bore marked Model 1912, and I've seen some pretty early ones. This is the first gun I've seen marked Model 1910.
Why isn't it marked Model 1910 on the forearm iron like the Sterlingworths? Hmmm.....
