Hello all. I am new to shotguns, especially old ones, and am trying to get more info on one that I have. It has a s/n of 123XX, is a 12 gauge an very good condition. It is a side lever gun. I am unsure as to how to add pictures.

Can any one tell me the age of this gun?
Thanks

The gun was made in 1874, according to the dates of production found in Graham Greeners book "The Greener Story."

Mmmm. Whoever filed up that action had some serious talent and an eye for gun sexy. The shaping of the top strap is fantastic, as is the filing work on the fences. Lovely Greener.

Thanks for the info. LeFusil, I am not familiar with the terminology. Does the filing imply that this gun was modified, or is it part of the initial construction. Any ideas as to how desirable this gun is and likely worth?
Thanks again.

In the photo taken from the top, the shaping of the top tang, and the connection of the tang to the action utilizing those ridges (fences) is particularly clean and elegant. The gunsmith who did the work certainly had considerable experience, an eye for beauty, and a deft touch with a file.

(That's what I mean, anyway.)
