No argument from me when it comes to W&C Scott and the later W&S being the champions of the English gun trade. They were prolific, no doubt about it. I just thought it odd that you'd say Greener did not make a sidelock or boxlock, a guy with your expertise surely knows they did in fact manufacture both along with with The Facile P and the Unique.
I just suggested that if there was no W&C or W&S, Greeners was fully capable of picking up the slack. They had the factory, machinery, design talent, work force and skills to make anything the trade wanted, that too is a fact.
