Interesting and detailed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Great historical detail. McIntosh at his best. Probably more information than anyone would ever need to know about one of Americas' great icon shotgun builders of the last century.
A. H. Fox
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Mr. McIntosh knows his guns. This book contains everything one would want to know about Ansley Fox's masterpieces, and some more. Where the author comes short is the non-gun-related subjects. For example, claiming that Russia went to war with Serbia in WW1,when they were on the same side: describing the Fox car engine as a V-6, when it was an in-line 6, as it is clearly shown in illustrations, incidentally; and referring to an early A. H. Fox patent on "Car Brakes" as automobile-related, when it is, in fact, an invention for a railway vehicle component. Minor points, perhaps, and certainly nothing to do with the excellent description of the "finest guns in the world".
A must read for Fox Gun owners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Concise and pleasing to read, this book is a colorful account of the life and guns of Ansley H. Fox. McIntosh obviously spent many hours of research, tracking down important details which illustrate what drove Fox to create "The finest gun in the world". These details are woven together to provide an informative resource for research and an interesting read for the double gun enthusiast. Included are original sketches of patented designs, technical expertise and insight, beautiful color photographs, and an easy to follow paper trail to help identify an antique Fox.
This is more than a reference book of serial#s, etc.

As an owner of a Fox, I have been unable to find any information that would provide a background on the company, as well as the different models produced. This book will give you that and much more, including great info on Ansley Fox and his other contributions to the auto industry, etc. The book is great reading.
