Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The A.H. Fox Sterlingworth is one of the most respected and enduring American side-by-side shotguns ever produced, celebrated for blending refined design, mechanical strength, and practical field utility into a remarkably well-balanced sporting arm. Manufactured by A.H. Fox Gun Company beginning in the early 20th century, the Sterlingworth was conceived as a more accessible, working-grade alternative to Fox’s higher-finished A-Grade and B-Grade guns, yet it retained the same robust action and essential craftsmanship that defined the brand. Built on Fox’s signature boxlock action, the Sterlingworth is distinguished by its rotary bolt locking system, which provides exceptional strength and longevity while maintaining a slim, lively receiver profile. Typically chambered in popular gauges such as 12, 16, and 20, the gun was offered with a variety of barrel lengths and choke configurations, making it adaptable for upland birds, waterfowl, and general field use. The barrels, usually fluid steel rather than Damascus, were well-regulated and known for even patterns, while the internal machining reflected Fox’s emphasis on durability and precise fitting rather than ornate embellishment.

Externally, the Sterlingworth is understated and purposeful, featuring clean lines, modest engraving, and plain but well-shaped walnut stocks that emphasize handling and balance over decoration. Its reputation for reliability was quickly earned; the gun could withstand heavy use season after season, which made it especially popular with serious hunters who valued performance above all else. Despite its “entry-level” positioning within the Fox lineup, the Sterlingworth has long been regarded as anything but ordinary, offering the same shooting qualities as more expensive doubles at a more attainable price point. Today, it is highly regarded by collectors and shooters alike as a classic American field gun—one that exemplifies the golden age of U.S. shotgun manufacturing through honest construction, excellent balance, and timeless functional elegance.
