A. H. FOX DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUNS
“The Finest Gun in the World”
tradition continues
W
e have been manufacturing the Connecticut Shotgun
Manufacturing Company A.H. Fox Shotguns for over 10 years, and
after many hundreds of guns, we are still excited about every single
gun that we produce. Although we operate the most advanced
tool machine equipment available to produce the gun, all of the
fitting, shaping and physical hand chiseling of the steel to sculpture
the frame is still done completely by hand, by extremely skilled
gunmakers in our employ. We constantly receive correspondence
from customers telling us about their hunting adventures with their
Fox guns, which gives us great pleasure.
E
very gun is made individually and we pride ourselves on being
able to custom tailor every gun for its owner; types of birds and
animals on the engraving, checkering or any special requirement is
available on every grade. We enjoy building these guns to the exact
specifications for every situation.
ce grade
T
he CE Grade A.H. Fox is in every respect a high-grade gun and represents outstanding
value. It is engraved with fine scroll and game scenes. The gunstocks are made with our quality “one star” Turkish Circassian walnut. Fine hand checkering is cut on the grip, panels, and
forend.
de grade
T
he DE Grade is striking example of the mechanical simplicity, strength, fine workmanship and excellent shooting qualities of the A.H. Fox Gun. It is a classic beauty in
its every detail. Engraving is intricate and extensive. It is stocked with our “three star”
highly figured Turkish Circassian walnut. The checkering is the finest diamond pattern
on the grip, panels, and forend.
xe grade
T
he XE Grade A.H. Fox meets the demand for a hand-finished gun having all the refinements of the gun-maker’s art. It has chiseled scroll work and engraved game scenes. These
guns are stocked with our “two star” quality Turkish Circassian walnut. Distinctive fine
checkering adorns the grip, panels, and forend.
fe grade
T
he FE Grade is built for the sportsman who is satisfied by only the best that there is. The FE Grade is
unsurpassed in apperance and shooting qualities by any gun. It is in every sense of the word a “work of art.”
The engraving is a revelation in the ornamentation of guns, consisting of gold inlays surrounded by one of
FE Special
several types of beautiful scroll. If desired, the individual signature of the purchaser is inlaid in gold on the
trigger guard or the monogram engraved upon a gold sheild in the stock. The stocks are selected from our
“four star” Turkish Circassian walnut, which is richly figured. The checkering is exquisite, being the finest
diamond pattern, on the grip, panels, and forend.
exhibition grade
T
he Exhibition Grade is made for the sportsman/collector for whom price is no
object. This gun is for the discriminating individual who wishes to invest in one of the
truly greatest guns ever produced. The A.H. Fox Exhibition Grade Gun is a museum
quality piece. The ornamentation design, consisting of gold inlays and engraving,
is specified and approved by the customer before the gun is built. Gun stock wood is
chosen by the customer from our supply of Exhibition Quality Turkish Circassian walnut.
This rare wood is the most sought after and expensive available anywhere in the world.
Included with the gun is the best quality fully accessorized Oak & Leather trunk case.
