*FINE AND RARE W.W. GREENER IMPERIAL GRADE “G EJECTOR” LIGHT GAME GUN. SN 64810. (1916) Cal. 12 ga. 2-3/4″ Chamber. 26″ Dovetailed bbls have narrow, concave, matted game rib engraved “W. W. Greener Maker, 29, Pall Mall London, Works, St. Mary’s Square. Birmingham” in unmatted portion of rib. Breech ends of bbls have 2″ triangles of unusual well cut shaded scroll with oak leaf and acorn central motif. Bbl flats are stamped with Birmingham nitro proofs for 1-1/4 oz of shot. Bottoms of bbls are stamped with Greener’s elephant logo trademark, SNs, and “Wrought Steel”. Right bbl is stamped “CYLr”. Rear of front lump is fitted with Greener’s unique G ejector mechanism. Scallop-backed, modified boxlock (facile princeps) action has nicely filed reinforcing bolsters, arcaded fences, and non-automatic Greener side safety. Blued top lever has gold inlaid crown and scepter denoting imperial grade (“Grade G 105” is marked on trigger guard tang, along with SN). Action is engraved with beautifully cut thin tendrils of shaded open scroll highlighted by wheat stalk and oak leaf, and cattail motifs. This fine scroll outlines small vignettes of nicely rendered dogs and birds. Nicely marbled and lightly figured European walnut “Prince of Wales” grip buttstock measures 14-1/2″ over “White Line” open sided pad. Stock features very fine scallop patterned borderless checkering, complex inlaid horn drop points, and a vacant gold oval on toe line.

Bbls retain nearly all of a nicely colored re-black, done with very little polishing. Engraving is left crisp. A few light areas of pitting have not been polished out. Action has traces of orig case hardening color in protected areas, and is mostly a pleasing pewter gray. Stocks retain what appears to be remnants of their orig finish, with some oil added, with some refinishing of butt section when pad was added. Replacement pad is presently petrified. Checkering is slightly worn and somewhat dirty. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are in time, and work flawlessly. Bores are excellent, bright and shiny. A very fine, top of the line light game gun. 4-46342 MGM19 (7,500-9,500)
