Those side lever hammer guns are very cool. What is the age of your Greener and the gauge of it.

That's one of the better pictures I have ever taken.
The gun is a WW GREENER, that was made I late 1870s.
It has 30" cyl/cyl barrels that I believe are twist, could be Damascus, the pattern is quite faint.
I'm not a big fan of full restoration, but am considering having the barrels redone and wood refinished, the wood is quite nice figure. It had several cracks that were fixed. The gun was given to me by a friend.

Great gun, Harold, and a wonderful photo. Does it go this way?
