Default Greener Four Bore

This is a Greener double four bore. It has damascus barrels so I have never had the chance to shoot it... This gun is so big it is hard to photograph, but hopefully these will give some idea of size.



The Greener is a real cannon, weighing over 30 lb. Here is a pic with a 12ga buck shot shell for scale.



If you look about 40% way down the barrel you will see on the table the gun is leaning against a 12 ga buck shot shell for size comparison.

Unfortunately the old gun is not in great shape, though all the parts are there. I contacted Greener (who is still in business... they say they can restore it ... for a price... I was afraid to ask how much...



Guys much have been tough back then... I can't see hauling this monster around... A 10 ga barrel gauge drops right down the bore of this old gun.



Would anyone have any idea of the value of this old gun?

It is interesting... shame it won't get shot again...
