Description:
"Serial No. 8377, originally manufactured in 1873 and later converted to .22 caliber with a 30¼"" round barrel. Metal surfaces have aged to a predominantly grey patina, with traces of original blue remaining in protected areas. The barrel is marked “W.W. GREENER MAKER BIRMINGHAM," with the top of the breech additionally stamped “AMMUNITION / .22." The left side of the receiver is clearly marked “Converted for the N.R.A. by W.W. Greener / 8377," indicating a period small-bore training conversion by the noted Birmingham maker. The stock remains in good condition, showing expected light handling marks and retaining a handsome cartouche. A small token is screwed into the stock and marked “gesetzlich geschützt," translating to “legally protected," suggesting the rifle was likely registered in Germany during the early 20th century. Action is smooth and functions correctly. A highly interesting and well-documented Martini-Henry conversion with desirable Greener markings and continental history.
