An Old Greener Hammer Gun

Much used and loved old 12 bore Greener hammer gun with 3” chambers. This old waterfowler was restocked it would appear by greener. It’s a fresh greener butt stock, trigger guard repaired and a blacksmith hammer installed on the left lock. Circa 1884 if I recall right. Probably spent a lot of time hunting sea ducks on the east coast. Nick Skinner

An old Greener hammer gun. No mention of barrel length but they are long.

The sea ducking reference reminded me of this Frank Benson.

Steve likely would have  keen to use that old Greener in his sea ducking days.
