G.& N. stands for Greener and Needham’s patent (see my Cameleopard thread) and if I remember correctly relates to the ejectors which were a Needham design.
The gun at Southams is certainly a Facile Princeps, note the tips of the cocking bars at the back of the forward lump slot, and the stud for the “jumping Jack” top lever hold open.
Note also the Westley Richards style dolls head top extension and sliding bolt (as on the gun I owned Reilly no. 30227).
The elephant on Buckstick’s gun is indeed a Greener trade mark.
