Hi All,
Just a little curious if you could evaluate a recent purchase of mine. It was somewhat of an impulse buy, but I couldn't let it pass. It's a Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge, made in Philadelphia. SN 363876, all numbers matching. Gun appears in pretty good shape. If I can get a picture posted, I would like to hear your comments and what a reasonable price would be.
OK, I don't know how to post pictures so any help there would be greatly appreciated too!!
Thanks.

barrel length, weight ... with out pictures 1k to 1500 would be a good starting range for the value

Kyle, you SOB!  That's one with a little ding in the barrel from Cummins-town area, isn't it? I traded some PMs with him on INGO and then had some 'puter issues that kept me from sealing the deal!
you got a heck of a deal, enjoy it!

Looks good. Wood isn't chipped or missing, opening lever right of center, and even a little case coloring left. If Lurch is mad must have been a good buy.

According to a reference list it was made in 1932. If you are happy with the price, you'll be happy with the gun. I love my 1919 gun. Sterlingworh 16's are about as sweet as it gets. Looks to be in nice shape.
