VERY nice Greener Marty! What grade is it? I owned a 20 ga. FH 35 Greener very briefly that had a broken ejector train on one barrel. Correspondence from Graham Greener at the time detailed the extensive process and considerable cost for repair (essentially rebuilding the entire ejector train) which I decided not to pursue. I sold the gun to a gentleman who had had work like that done before by Greener and didn't care about the cost, import/export hassles, shipping, etc.
I am not familiar with Mr. Tandy, but on our second trip to Scotland for driven birds, our trip organizer Jim Baker, who has had some fabulous guns built by Greener, invited David Dryhurst up for dinner at St. Andrews one evening. He was a most delightful fellow and gave us a "living history" of the origins, development, and marketing of Greener guns. It was quite riveting hearing (as they say) the "rest of the story."
Thank you for the great pics!
