Bought a third Fox SxS today. I found a 16 gauge Fox B to go with the 12 and 20 gauge guns I already have. The date code indicates a 1962 manufacture. The shotgun has the expected dings and bumps on the stock, but the finish is intact; the stock actually has a nice tiger stripe in it that moves when the light hits it. Metalwork is okay; no barrel pitting and the bores are shiny, but the finish is browning some toward the breech end. Receiver has some pitting but you can still see the case hardening color.
I haven't shot it yet, and probably won't shoot it much. my 12 gauge has 30" barrels, this 16 has 28's and my 20 has 26's. Here's the 16 (top) and 20 together:
