This W.W. Greener shotgun is 42 in. overall length with a 25.25 in./ 64 mm barrel, the bore has no pitting. It is full stocked with a single barrel band, it is marked EG in the receiver and on the buttstock. S/N 12914. The barrel is not proof marked for smokeless powder, therefore it is a black powder shotgun. C. 1870-1880s. The breach is marked "Greener's Special Bore" with a British crown proof mark and the number "13". The receiver is marked "W.W. Greener. Maker" on the left side. On a Martini action; falling block. A standard 12ga. hull will not fit the chamber and the Greener riot control police guns were known to take a unique 12/14 ga. hull; this is one of those guns. It also has Arabic notations on both sides of the breach indicating that this shotgun may have served duty in one of the Crown's territories. The metalwork has a gray patination, and handling marks on the stock consistent with proper handling and care for one hundred plus years. This gun is an antique and no attempt has been made to fire this gun to confirm its mechanical integrity. Nor should this gun be fired without the examination by a qualified gunsmith. Any attempt to fire an antique is at the risk of the owner and not consistent with the value of the firearm. No sales to New York, New Jersey, California, and Hawaii. No FFL required.
