My father passed and I have this Greener SXS I am trying to identify and potentially sell. Any help? New here and trying to navigate through this. I can post pictures if I can figure it out.

We can tell you all you need to know but pictures are probably mandatory.
First off, can you check the trigger guard and give the serial number and possibly the model, which should be on the guard as well? Something like F16, F.H. 30, etc.

I can tell you that I got in touch with Graham Greener. He sent me info. but I still don't know exactly what it is. The serial # is 28422 from 1885. There is no model # on the trigger guard.

Hammers or hammerless?

Hammerless

He says Facile Princeps type action. Could post some pics but don't know how.

The Facile Princeps is a cool concept, and due to design rather strong. Even though the mechanism appears simple it was rather difficult to get everything timed correctly. Many guns were worked on by smiths who probably shouldn't have been doing so, thus creating issues. They had one flaw also that made them easy to damage by someone less careful. Value will come down to condition and if it functions as intended.

I'm rather fond of mine.

You're welcome to email me pictures if you'd like. I'll post them for you.

Everything seems to work correctly. Have not shot. 12 Gauge. Has a gold crown and 63 Guineas?

You can also text me pictures at the number in my signature.

Can I email them instead. I have them on the computer.
