That serial number would be a 20ga gun built in 1912. That is a true Fox Sterlingworth, made in Philadelphia, before the Savage buyout. Value depends on condition, which is typically described by the percentage of case color remaining on the receiver and percentage of bluing remaining on the barrels. For example, a gun similar to yours with 50% case color remaining, and 80% blue and wood finish remaining, is currently listed at $2800.
