Greener patent 1880, but Greener o/u gun was hammer one with Daw under lever.
I wonder, if its prototype gun, where are first provisional proof marks on barrel tubes? Complitely home made critte?

Tinker, I don't know about the dovetail. My first guess would be an aftermarket item, but the barrels seem to have the original blue and the recess for the dovetail is blued along with the barrels. I don't have a picture at the moment of the sites, but there is a silver metal mid bead and an aftermarket looking white elongated front bead. Barrels measure 28" on the nose. I have not been able to get the buttstock off as the screw slots are thinner than the screwdrivers I usually use on British guns.

Identical forearm clamshell opener that's on my '90-'92 Lindner Daly with the exception of bits of the engraving - probably a "for the trade" item. Really did a "double-take" and had to look again at the photos...bizarre!

It looks like an English A&D boxlock turned sideways, but I'd sure like to see how the trigger blades trip the sears?
One VERY special double gun!
Daryl, I've got the screwdrivers if you want to bring it to my workbench? (We've got about 5" of new snow!)
Best,
Steve

Atta Boy Steve!
Get that sweet old thing open and let us see what's hiding in there.
The trigger linkages will be cool to see for sure.
I'm still thinking Prussian/German...
Cheers
Tinker

Case colors a bit suspicious looking. Torch job?

Geno, are you trying to make me feel bad this close to Christmas ? No, the finishes are very close to original. I would like to get it opened up to look, but that will have to wait until afte New Years. Plan to spend some time at a Hot Springs in B.C. and will leave SDH here to scoop snow. I am thanking you all for your perceptions and ask for more. Daryl

No, Daryl, I don't. Probably its photos  But this kind of gun is not alone. Belgium gunmaker Britte made O/U gun Superbritte in 1931.

Geno, I have been chasing a SuperBritte for years. If you look closely, they are completely different from this gun. I have bid on 4 SuperBrittes, or their varients by other makers or signers, in the last year or so, and wish I had been successful. On the other hand, I always appreciate the guns you bring into the forum and the knowledge you share with us. Oh, the hunting pictures are wonderful.
