Item Details
High Estimate1200
Low Estimate800
serial #6462, 12 bore, 30” damascus barrels with bright very good plus bores showing some scattered light pitting. The barrels retain about 98% professionally refurbished brown finish with a tiny dent on the left barrel above the forward ramrod thimble, a few scattered spots of light oxidation and fine pinprick pitting, and a handsome damascus twist pattern throughout. Greener’s London address is clearly marked on the top rib, there are crisp Birmingham proofs on the underside of the breeches, and blow-out plugs on the sides of the breeches. The lockplates and hammers have aged to a smoky gray case-hardened patina with scattered spots of light oxidation and remnants of original colors in the protected areas. Both are lightly engraved with splashes of loose foliate scroll. The long tang triggerguard with decorative urn front extension retains modest remnants of original blue and is otherwise toning to a gray patina and is engraved to the gun. The buttplate is in similar condition with a bit more oxidation around the toe. The checkered walnut stock rates fine with a coat of added finish, some scattered chips points in the wraparound panels, a few hairline cracks around the buttplate, and some expected light handling marks. There is an unengraved monogram plate on the top of the wrist and the stock is numbered to the gun. The hammers are in time, and a brass-tipped hardwood ramrod is included. A fine example of these quality British shotguns. (23B11589-3) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

GUIDELINES FOR FIREARM PURCHASES
• All Federal, State and Local firearms laws will be observed. FFL holders may take possession of any firearm on day of sale when they present a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm on day of sale providing the proper paperwork is filled out and the transfer has been approved either through the NH State Police or the FBI NICS System.

Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges and all items must be paid for on day of sale.
