Hello,

New here, I deal in antiques and came across this part from a double barrel marked W.W. Greener. It seems to be missing a trigger and I don't know what else as I know little to nothing about these guns. I was wondering if anyone here could help me ID it and and perhaps value it? Also any tips on how to go about selling this? Thanks

Pfitz, looks like you have most of the action from a pretty early (before 1878) inexpensive Greener hammergun. I see them for sale on the internet for $200 or so. It appears to be useable if someone needed the parts, but usually its the barrels on these old guns that folks need. It would make a cool paperweight!...Geo

I agree it isn't worth a lot. Hardly any of the parts would be usable on other guns since these were basically made one at a time and it's unlikely anything will interchange. Remember, the interchangable system of manufacturing had not been fully developed or adopted by makers at this time. $50 paperweight.
