Have you shot it yet. The proof is in the pudding (as the old saying goes). What year was it made.

Wayne you better believe ive shot it . I havnt shot it much though because im holding on to my 4 boxes of rst ammo . They are sold out and God knows when they will have anymore . But I ordered some gaugemate golds 10 gauge to 16 ga adapters ,plan on getting some rst 16 ga ammo to tie me over till they have 10 ga ammo again . The stock is considerably thicker than my 10 ga bonehill ! . I like the grip on the green better its more of a closed grip and the bonehill is more open griped . Still keeping the bonehill though since it has thick walled barrels it weighs 10 lbs 2oz ! with nice bores . The Green is a better looking gun though no doubt And the barrels don't require a oil change daily lol . The bonehill has to be oiled once a day since they don't have a finish on them . I might buy a 3rd double next month but really thinking about getting the EC green Restored by Brad B . sometimes the firing pins get stuck on the extractor , Like my bonehill the springs that hold the firing pins back until the hammer hits them need replacing . But its a minor thing to me . I bought it from Hans who runs the Cody dug up gun museum , Hes a good guy to do business with and lies to talk guns . He has a nice colt 10 ga but it has 30" barrels .

Not sure on the Year all I know it was made before 1898 and probably after 1880 . I know Edwinson didn't produce high numbers of guns , Ive read because they were hand made and not machine made . I have seen a EC Green that had serial #65 it was a pinfire gun .

Charlie maybe someday , but im thinking of loading buckshot for deer season if theres any load data for say a 1 oz load of 000b @ 1200 fps or so but that's another topic haha . Ec green only had one exclusive importer from my understanding . Agents G&A Hayden of Jacksonville ,Ill . Also read there was a fued between E Green and Webley over the patent of the top break revolver which they both made but with a few different features .
