SRH I'll find out for you. Tim Stan and Tim, the gun/picture in question, 69927, is one of a pair and it is a 12 bore. You can see the exact picture with info on page 134 of Graham Greener's book, "The Greener Collections." Most of these new Greener guns with the damascus barrels are being made with interchangeable steel barrels.

Yeah well I think they (Greener) will build whatever you want if you have the $$ - taste or tradition aside. You should see the "Viking" gun (at least it has 2 triggers) they recently built - it was on the cover of Shooting Sportsman magazine a couple of issues ago.

I think that whoever said that craftsmanship is dead better rethink that in view of these guns.
