NEAT GREENER CATTLE KILLER.

SN 11069. Cal. approx 35. Approximately 11-1/2″ overall length with large brass bell shaped muzzle marked “GREENERS GUNMAKER BIRMINGHAM / PAT No. 7040 / GREENERS HUMANE CATTLE KILLER” around outer edge. Bbl is a black steel tube with 3 serrated finger grips which unscrews from firing pin and extractor. Bbl is rifled. Top of firing pin housing is brass, bottom of housing is blued steel and extractor appears to have been left in the white. Comes with what appears to be its orig shipping box, small bore cleaner and a 20 count box of cartridges, currently containing approx 19, for “GREENERS HUMANE CATTLE KILLER” along with wooden mallet which would have been used to whack the firing pin and actuate the gun. Also included are what appears to be orig instruction pamphlets for other types of slaughter guns made by W.W. GREENER. WEIGHT: 3 lbs. 1 oz. CONDITION: Excellent. Bbl retains 85-90% of its orig blued finish. Brass components have darkened and toned a bit but excellent overall. Extractor housing with staining and pinprick pitting, but very good overall. Mallet shows some use with a few battering marks, but remains in very good condition. Box of shells is very good. Shipping box is in poor condition with separation and losses. Sort of an unusual collectible, but helps to make great beef! 49536-1 JSL315 (1,500-3,000) – Lot 1734
