CH Fox Double barrel

[JWJacobVT]

A friend has a 12 gauge double barrel with side hammers. It is labeled CH Fox.
It is not a standard break action ie hinge but a pivot to the side. I am working on getting pics. anybody ever seen one of these????

Thanks

I haven't. I did some googling last night and found one or two brief references to Jeffries introduction of the action in 1862 and then the Fox side motion action in America, but no details at all...except that the idea didn't work out. I still don't what the CH in CH Fox refers to.

About halfway down the left column.

Any possibility it is AH Fox?

Thanks JohnBT, I had gooogled it and found Nothing. No oneounce It is clearly a CH. Sounds like a wall hanger to me.
