Description:
Gorgeous W.W. Greener 8ga "Facille Princeps" model. This gun made with beautiful 36" Damascus barrels, checkered splinter forend with horn tip and Deeley latch release. The casehardened scalloped action boxlock receiver is beautifully engraved as seen in the photos in near full coverage game scene and scroll. Mounted with a really nice hard English Walnut buttstock with gold inlaid side safety, is checkered in point pattern and terminates with an aging red pad.
The gun remains in superb original condition overall and is easily the nicest example of this maker in a big bore I have handled. Barrels with about 97% beautiful brown damascus pattern. The stocks are excellent with beautiful original finish, fine checkering, and show only modest handling marks. Frame with beautiful original case color remaining - easily more than 80% bold and bright - with crisp engraving. Bores are bright and shiny. Mechanics are excellent. Overall, the gun is just superb!
This is a beautiful high original condition 8 gauge for a great maker. I have seen a number of 8ga guns from Greener and none remained in this fine overall condition. Guns of this vintage with beautiful original bores and metal condition are impossible to source and this gun is deserving of room in the most discerning collection. It is priced at $12,500 plus shipping. Please dont hesitate to contact me with any questions or reasonable offers at (704) 280-2382 or via PM.
