Has anyone ever heard of the WW Greener company out of london? I have researched and havent come up with even a clue. Looks like a decently made shotgun...good action and nice scroll work.

    They were supposedly the best known manufacurer of double barrel shotguns in England during the 19th century.

    1. W.W. Greener has always been and still is in Birmingham, not London.2. Their reputation was built on "medium-priced firearms of sound workmanship". The name will forever be associated with the "Greener crossbolt" mechanism.3. On a British double gun, barrel condition is *THE* most important component of value, because replacement barrels are prohibitively expensive, *IF* they can even be found. If the bore of the barrel is over proof (measured on the inside and 9 inches from the breech) or if the barrels are too thin (measured 9 inches from the muzzle)-- then it becomes a wall hanger.4. W.W. Greener has produced over 150 different models and grades of firearms and to know exactly what you have, value and condition requires expert evaluation. I don't know where you are but the names that keep croping up on British doubles are John F. Rowe--Enid, OK ---- Paul Hodgins--Logan, UT ---- Les Paul--Ontario, Canada.Regards [This message has been edited by AdamsQuailHunter (edited 03-26-2002).]
