I recently purchased a W.W. Greener facile princeps G-grade gun in 10-gauge at auction. Serial number puts production around 1912. I don't yet have receipt of the gun, and was wondering if anyone could point me towards either a DGJ article or on-line source of info on Greener's heavy water fowlers. This one has 31" steel barrels but so far I know precious little else. Engraving and case colors appeared very fine and original and hence my unwise purchase of a second 20th century British 10 gauge (the other being a William Ford I posted about a while back.)
Frame and fences are filed up like this one from an earlier Julia's auction, (

Edit - 9/18/15 Greener is now in hand. Lots of pictures posted below.
