From Graham Greeners book,"The Greener Story" we can find the following info:
Gun #41584 was made circa 1893-4
List 56 I believe is in error and should read list 36![ie; list 56 is not recorded in Greeners records]. The list system of numbering is the second numbering system used by Greener.It was in use from 1889-1894. A list 36 gun sold for 25 Guineas[1 guinea = 21 english shillings] as compared to 60 guineas for their best gun. It was rated as low to medium grade.[Approx F25]
The elephant seen stamped on the action and/or barrels is Greeners trade mark and is found on all genuine Greener guns,It is not in any way connected to the proof marks.
Reference to the winner at the London gun trials was applied to the rib of many Greener Guns following their success at the trials. It dose not indicate that your gun was used in the trials.
Patent "Treble-wedge Fast", is the lock up system on your gun. Details of same can be found in many gun books. A primary feature of the action is the addition of A cross bolt that engages in a rib extension.This provides the third locking point. The action also incorporates the Purdey double bolt that engages in the lugs of the barrel.
