The action looks like a greener on many ways. Maybe another maker using their design.

Appears to be a nice Greener. Strange it has no marks. I would email Graham Greener with the pictures and the serial number.

It certainly looks like a Greener to me as well. I know of no other maker that used the side safety of this configuration other than Greener.

there were German guns made by a couple makers with that safety- but the engraving does not look Germanic,

it seems odd a British made gun would not have proof marks on the water table

Thomas:
It's a Greener. If sold in the US it required no British proof. Where is the No. 236? On the barrels? Is it enclosed in a diamond? It could be a use number...
