I took a look at a couple of shotguns this week. The first being a Edwinson C Green. I know nothing about this gun other then it is nicely engraved, tight on face, good bore. Any information you can share on this maker and on this model is appreciated.

I`d guess a J & JT Rogers Patent No 397 of 1881.
Don`t know who R & S refers to though. Hth.

Your gun was made in 1882 but from the index in Nigel Brown Vol. 2 does not appear to be one of the few serial numbers written in the records that year.
There might be an entry identifiable by knowing the original purchaser’s name.
Does it have initials engraved on the escutcheon oval, or if cased is there a name or initials to be seen?
In 1886, Edwinson Green wrote to Shooting magazine in response to a survey that his plain guns were signed E.C. Green on the lock plates whilst those £16 and over were signed Edwinson C. Green.
As to R. & S. patent it is clearly not Roper and Spencer (pump guns) but might be Rigby and Scott (forming chokes by swaging tubes)?

Thank you so much for this information sir. I just now need to determine if the asking price is fair.

Can anyone tell me what the lock design is called? I have looked on line and did not find any pictures or conversations concerning these lock profiles.
Unfortunately the escutcheon is blank.

My first post here!
I have an Edwinson Green @ Son 12bore with a serial number 6183 and would be really grateful if anyone can give me some information about this lovely gun.
