Vintage Firearms is pleased to offer this handsome W.W. Greener SxS boxlock, from one of the most respected names in British gun making. Greener has built everything from rugged working grade boxlocks to exquisite sidelock exhibition pieces. W.W. Greener’s origins begin in 1829, when William Greener began building percussion muzzle loading guns. After Williams’s death, his son William Wellington Greener merged his father’s factory with his own, during this time he continued his father’s innovative legacy, and patented a swath of firearm components, his most famous of which is the Greener crossbolt.
