I was looking at Graham Greener's new book, and thought, "What if the pictured Emperor is mine?" After spending some time under a lamp with a thick magnifying lens, and making comparisons, I discovered the gun in the book is mine! Mr. Greener does not remember the name of the collector who had my gun, so the provenance will have some gaps. I recently discovered that an outfit called Heritage Auctions, in Dallas, attempted to auction the gun in 2011, but there were no bidders!

Nice gun. Just wondering, does it have automatic safeties?

I too would like to own a nice English gun. Good for you!

The safety is not automatic. It has the standard 'Greener' safety on the left side.

Mr. Greener verified the photos in his book as being my gun. There is very little in the way of information on these guns. I would like to try my hand at a short article for the DGJ. It would be more of a pictorial presentation, due to the lack of information. I have searched the internet incessantly, but found only the above mentioned auction ad for the Greener Emperor. Here is a link to the auction:

She'll be a head turner, that's for sure...sorta like the gal who lost the top of her bikini.

Pretty colors too.
