W. W.Greener SxS Grade FH 50, looking for info #313116 02/11/13 01:32 AM

Unlike Westly Richards, I have found little info out there on the Greener gun. I would love to order a history report like Westley Richards offers but not sure if it exists. Can anyone advise as to the year or other info on this gun. I'll post some pictures soon. Sorry for the misprint, I meant Greener, not Richards. Too many Belgium Ales while posting, I'm sure it's not the first time... Last edited by digitalarmsdeale; 02/12/13 01:28 AM.

FH50 does sound Greener Digitalarm doesn't mention it being sleeved , does he ? Yes, Westley's I've seen were pretty crude & ugly looking,with Sleeved by Westley Richards on the outside of tubes. If I 'd had done that work , I'd have left my name off But perhaps they were pioneering the technique , or looking for folk to get new bbls made instead of such ugly sleeving? Stic up some pics Digi,so we can see what we're lookin' at cheers Franc

You can order a history report directly from Graham Greener. Check their website for details. If you post the serial number, I can tell you when it was made.
