CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH A MODEL FO THIS GUN. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS 27193 WHICH PUTS IT AROUND 1886-88. IT HAS DOUBLE EJECTORS. IT HAS THE PATENT "WEDGE FAST" ON TOP OF BARREL. THE TOP OF THE RIB SAYS " W.W. GREENER 68 HAYMARKET LONDON WINNER @ LONDON GUN TRIALS 1875,1877,1878 & 1879"

OTH SIDES OF THE BREECH HAVE "W.W. GREENER" ENGRAVED IN THEM. THE BARRELS ARE 30" LONG. BEAUTIFUL WOOD, FOREND HAS EBONY TIP. WHEN THE BARRELS ARE HOOKED ONTO BREECH THEY DEPRESS THE SMALL PIN.

I am not familiar with the set-up but could this be a Facile Priceps action with Needham ejector system. The JN Patent 550 being the patent use number.The US patent of 7 June 1881 ? might be more informative, and easier to pin down that Brit patent details.

It would be pre 1888 because of the "not for ball" stamps on the barrels.


I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

THIS IS FOR THE GUY ASKING FOR THE "GREENER" STAMP. I TOO BELIEVE IT IS THE FACILE PRICEPS ....

I ORDERED THE CHICAGO EXHIBITION CATALOG COPY FOR "GREENER" LOOKS EXACT, I BELIEVE THAT PIN STICKING UP ALSO MAKES IT THE FACILE PRINCEPS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ
