WW Greener is a quality gun just as are Parkers,LC Smith, Winchester etc. The value depends on grade, guage and condition. Greener made both high and entry grade guns. I would look on the internet sites and try to find the gun your considering then compare condition and price.

Mike,
I do not mean to be rude but you will more likely obtain the information you desire by following Big D's advice. The http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums is a wealth of information. I own a couple British guns and would go to the above listed site rather than here to learn about them. Good luck in your search! Mark |

If it has 3"chambers it's probably fluid steel barrels. I would still measure the wall thickness to be sure it hasn't been "cleaned" up. You might be able to get a factory letter stateing when it was made and what the demensions were.

Don't you remember the John Wayne western wherein he opens a trunk and exclaims, "Oh you remembered to bring my Greeners!"
If the Greener was good enough for the Duke it has to be a good gun. |

William Wellington Greener was the author of "THE GUN" and a HUGE self promoter. His company made a wide variety of gun grades from the very plain "farmers or game keepers" all the way to very highly embellished "exhibition" grade. All are of good quality in both finish and workmanship. Legend has is that Greener Trademark, the elephant, originated when a circus pachaderm got loose in the streets of London and Greener was sent to dispatch it. Many of his guns made their way to this sine of the pond.
Best Regards, George |
