I had a beautiful Greener come my way a few years back. I couldn't believe it was only $1000 and bought it straight away. Sold it a year later for twice that and used the money to buy a parker

Were the Greener stock heads all pinned or was that one repaired?

When I looked at it I wasn't certain if that was a stock pin, or if it was connected to the safety on the other side. Here is a pic I found online, different gun but same safety setup opposite of that pin.

Thanks Bill. I am not familiar with these guns and was curious about it. I'm sure you're probably right.

Lol Dean, you are as familiar with them as I am. I think it would be nice to own an English double, but know very little about them other then the famous ones and what I read in Best Guns.
Even with my self education I am doing, I am still trying to understand boxlock vs. sidelock lol. I know it should be pretty basic.

'F 16' is a designation for a Facile Princeps action, non-ejector, selling for 16 guineas. This method of grading was implemented in 1902. It is an 'inexpensive grade' and appears to be the lowest grade available in that model. I know that doesn't help with value, but thought you might like to know.

All Greeners that I have handled have been very well made and stoutly bbld guns. I'm sure a 10ga would not ever come apart on you and handle well. The cross bold design is excellent in my opinion. All Merkels have it and it locks them up like a safe.The bolt is tapered so can keep it tight as things wear. I like them.
