Description: SOLD This is a handsome vintage W.W. Greener Monarch 12 gauge double barrel shotgun. This top-quality double has 3 fasteners including the namesake Greener crossbolt, and is fit with 30" inch barrels choked Full and Full with 2.75" inch chambers. It has been refinished/restored at some point, likely in the last 30 years. It now features a silvered finish on the receiver and forearm metal with gold-finished pins. The barrels are a satin blue finish while the triggerguard bow, action top lever, and lower tang extension are a gloss blue. The stock set on this Greener appears to be made up of the original buttstock and a replacement forearm, both of which are checkered deluxe Walnut with a high-gloss finish. This Monarch is in good working order and would be perfect if not for one of the ejectors not staying cocked when taken apart. Both ejectors work properly with the gun put-together, it is just harder than normal to attach the forearm as you are pushing against the ejector lug on the forearm metal when you attach it. Interestingly enough, sometimes you can hold the forearm when removed from the gun and cock the ejector lug manually by pressing it backwards with the end of a pen and it will cock, other times it will not catch. The silvered finish on this Greener is in very good condition overall and it contrasts nicely with the blued barrels and small parts. All of the original factory floral / scroll engraving is still crisp and visible, as well as the factory markings on both the barrels and receiver. The gold finished pins in the action match up nicely with the gold finished triggers. The bores in the factory 30" inch barrels are in very good condition overall and would be perfect if not for one small dent in the right side barrel. It is visible on the exterior as well as in the bore if you look very carefully. The remainder of the bores in both barrels are slick, shiny, and bright with no visible pitting or imperfections. Both barrels are stamped with the matching serial number to the receiver underneath the forearm, serial number "45686". The action on this double barrel shotgun locks up nice and tight with the barrels perfectly "on face" with no wiggle or slop between them and the receiver. The left-side mounted safety switch is in perfect working order, as are both of the triggers. The stock set on this Greener is handsome with some beauitfully hand-cut checkering on the wrist and forearm, and some nice figure and contrasting grain visible in both pieces of Walnut. The replacement forearm was fit to the factory forearm metal nicely, particularly at the forend tip where the joint between the metal and wood is very tight. The buttstock has some very finely cut checkering at the wrist and was factory-fit with both a black pistol grip cap and black buttplate. Neither the forearm nor buttstock have any cracks or repairs in them, both pieces are very solid. The Walnut does show some scattered minor handling marks but no major damage. The worst of the dings is located on the top of the comb a little over 3.5" inches up from the buttplate. If you have been looking for a classy yet affordable double this W.W. Greener Monarch would be an excellent choice. This is certainly a shotgun that you could carry with pride into any hunting camp or dove field in the world.
