These marks were used by the Birmingham Proof House beginning in 1887 and, from what I see, all of the marks on the gun are Birmingham proof marks. I have no information regarding whether this Albert Greener was related to WW Greener.

Given the original quality of the gun, I don't think it would have been expensive even when brand new. It is a fairly simple hammer gun without a lot of what are generally recognized as high end features. It has also apparently lived a very hard life as well. Just enjoy it as you are.
