1920s GREENER EG Mk. III SPECIAL BORE 12 Gauge Martini POLICE Shotgun C&R
Single Shot ROIT / PRISON GUARD 12 Gauge Shotgun
Description: 1920s GREENER EG Mk. III SPECIAL BORE 12 Gauge Martini POLICE Shotgun C&R Single Shot ROIT / PRISON GUARD 12 Gauge Shotgun Here we present a C&R Greener EG Mk. III Special Bore Shotgun in 12 Gauge, manufactured circa the 1920s in Birmingham, England. The Greener police shotgun, whose roots go back as far the 1860s, is one of most unusual fighting shotguns which were employed by law enforcement organizations throughout Britain. The history of this shotgun began just after the completion of World War I, when colonial police forces requested a weapon suitable for riot control and prison guard duty. A second request was that the gun should use proprietary ammunition not available through commercial channels, making illegal use from guns stolen or taken away from police more complicated for criminals. This request was fulfilled by the famous British gunmaker W.W. Greener, who developed a single-shot shotgun, based on the long-obsolete but rugged Martini single-shot action. This new gun fired proprietary shells (so that if it fell into the wrong hands it could not easily be used) and featured a very rugged wooden full stock with steel nose cap and buttplate, so it can be safely and routinely used not only as a gun, but also as a club, banging doors and occasional hot heads in the course of upkeeping the law and order. William W. Greener was a member of the second generation family which had been involved with gunmaking from 1829 to the present day. Greener served his apprenticeship with John Gardner in Newcastle prior to working for Joe Manton, who was probably the best gunmaker in England in the early 1800s. In 1829 he set up his own shop in Newcastle making percussion muzzle loading sporting and military shotguns and rifles, as well as harpoon guns for the Dundee Whalers. However, he found it difficult to obtain the best materials, so he moved to Birmingham in 1844 where Greener Gunmaking has remained ever since. The overall condition is good. Gray/brown patina throughout. The action is functional. The bore is smooth and has a similar color to the exterior steel surfaces. The stock is solid. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrels: 26 inches. Caliber: 12 Gauge Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $900 #220421 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
