WW Greener sidelever
A few years ago, I posted pictures of my friends sidelever WW Greener hammergun w/ 30" Damascus barrels. I have been trying to get him to sell it to me,and today he brought it to me on a "permanent loan". It's yours to do whatever you want--except sell it, he said. The action is extremely tight still with absolutely no play when the fore arm is removed. The 30" bores are in great shape and look plenty thick, despite rather open choking. There are several cracks in the wrist of the stock that I will have looked at and hopefully repaired. This gun could be a real beauty if the wood was refinished and Damascus redone, well actually they may be twist, hard to see pattern.
The rib reads "W.W. Greener, St. Mary's Works, Birmingham".
The serial # is 13095, if any records exist.
Whoops, that 3rd picture is a 10 ga Parker lifter action--don't know how to remove a picture, so will leave it be. Trying to get that off him also.
I am really jonesing to shoot this gun next weekend at a Vintage shoot at Hunting Hills in SW Pa., I have a bunch of 3/4 an7/8 oz. low pressure loads so the recoil will be minimal
