The so called Sterlingworth recessed pin gun was the first style 12 gauge Sterlingworth produced from 1910 to late 1912 early 1913. Recessed pin guns are found with serial numbers up to the 62000 range. It is believed that sometime in late 1912 or early 1913 the dressed flush hinge pin guns were introduced. Only the first couple of hundred guns have the Wayne Junction address. After serial number 50243 onward the address is Philadelphia, while The Sterlingworth Co. guns go up to the 53xxx serial number range, where we start finding AH Fox Gun Co. Model 1911's.
