Thomas:
Can we please see the action flats, barrel flats, and forend iron? It may help. I do not think this is a "copy." Who would copy a low grade Greener? And for God's sake why? |

A Japanese knock-off of a Greener. A buddy who spent some time in Japan working for the Pacific Stars & Stripes, has a couple of Japanese made knock-offs of more typical Birmingham boxlocks.

I have seen a Belgian copy of a Greener. Japanese copies of Westley Richards A&D actions are well known.
The engraving not only does not look like Greener's, it has an Asian look. No way a gun is built in England without proof. Export or not. I think Researcher is right. Not because he agrees with me. Because he is always right. |

Thomas,
When I say it is a copy I am not implying that it is of low quality. The Japanese have made many very nice guns. Judge it in hand for yourself. George |

I'm having a lot of fun with this so keep the comments coming. I have no clue what it is but I'm leaning in the direction of Japanese copy. I need to have the barrels repaired so may not be worth the effort. Thomas
