Thomas Bland was another duck gun maker with models such as the 'Brent' etc. One thing to watch for is that the older English 3" chamber guns are not proofed for the 3" magnum cartridges used today. If you look at the proof marks and they are marked for 1 1/2 ounce then they are for the old 3" cartridge but are o.k. with 2 3/4" magnum loads.
Craig, good luck at the Game Fair. I'm certain that you will find what you are looking for. If you have cash then don't be afraid to haggle. There is a lot to choose from there and the dealer knows that and he wants your cash. They always put a bit on the asking price for the Game Fair so banter them down. Lagopus.....

Craig, my favorite British waterfowler is my 8 gauge Greener Royal 3 3/4" chambers for 2 1/2 ounces. By the way it would be smart for you to take someone with you who speaks the language. Your friend, Murphy

You will need to look for a bit before finding another with a gold inlaid Crocodile.

DGM, wish I had seen that 8 bore Greener. What a stunning gun and it looked original. I think someone got a good deal there.
Flint, do you shoot bismuth thru full chokes? Good luck to you as well on the search/auctions. I would like to find a Greener Farkiller but the ones I have come across have appeared to have seen some very heavy use and treated rough.

Nice Greener but it looks like someone has chamfered out the first bit of the breech for a short distance to allow the use of Industrial cases without re-sizing them first. Lagopus.....

With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.
