According to Boothroyd, E.C.Green, a Birmingham trained gunmaker, established business in 1863 at, 87 High Street, Cheltenham. The last recorded address of the business is given in 1983 as; Edwinson Green & Sons, 99 High Street,Cheltenham. Edwinson green was a prolific inventor. In addition to the over and under , which as stated by "Salopian', was adopted by Purdey for their early over and unders, he also has to his credit a three barrel gun [Used by Westley Richards] and various pistol patents. I have Edwinson Green O/U 12.G, S.L.E. #6896 made in 1913. This gun exhibits the same high quality as seen in the Pinfire illustrated. Incidentally because my shooting days are drawing to a close, this gun is currently offered for sale in the Double Gun Journal.
