It looks very nice. Could you give us a few details of what was done to restore it?

Mike, I too am not a fan of the usual Greener side safety but this one actually works pretty good. The checkered knob protrudes more and gives some traction and the lever is much easier to move. W.W.
should have stay with this version.
Keith, We stripped,cleaned and polished the internals. Fitted a new hinge pin.Re-checkered the grip and forend in the original pattern and style. Replaced the broken buttplate with a Silvers pad, which added needed length and re-finished the woodwork.Honed the bores to remove light frosting and browned the barrels. Left the existing finish on the action,top lever and triggerguard.
The size and clarity of my pics do not really do the gun justice.
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.

I'm sure they don't....I almost bought a similiar gun years ago from Dunns in Grand Junction Tn. 10 ga. fluid steel barrels someone had opened the chambers to 3 & 1/2" and not reproofed the gun....it was on consignment from Canada.
Kinda been sorry and glad I didn't ever since.

I have a 10 bore Greener Hammer "Far Killing Duck Gun" and it is a joy for waterfowl. .-45-.045 and I use the 7625 loads
of Sherman Bell in the DGJ articles.

The drop points appear identical to those on my 1870 Greener hammer gun. Nice gun, Terry--bet'cha it holds up it's end of the deal this winter.
