I had an interesting experience taking my WW Greener Forester to a Cabela's gun room where they "evaluated" my 1892 Greener Forester and proceeded to explain to me that it was a fairly low condition gun. I had the impression that it was fairly high condition for a gun of 1892 vintage. The checkering is very sharp, the finish looks like the original finish on my old LC Smith field grade which I assume is correct, the gun is tight and on face and the Damascus barrels have what appear to be a slightly worn but original brown.
Would be very curious to hear the forum's thoughts on the condition and originality of the gun.
For good measure, it is in proof measuring .732 in each bore with full chokes. It also has a Facile Princeps action confirmed by Graham Greener. Performs flawlessly - shot a 23/25 in a round of trap with suitable low pressure loads (better than I usually average).
In any event, here are some pictures.
