A. Greener was not the maker, but the gun says that on the side.
It also says Belgium so is a copy/fake, and the hammers are loose, but the barrels are tight to the action, the bores are clean and it's only missing 1 firing pin and it's holder.
Any day now the Illinois State Police will make their friggen call and it's coming home with me.
Any ideas where I can get a firing pin and holder?
How do I id the parts on/for this gun?
It's not a true Greener, but were they copied close enough that some of the parts might fit?
This is my first real Antique and I'm wondering if I should clean the hell out of it to make it look brand new, or try to add patina to the new parts and have it look as old as it is.
I ordered some all brass 12 Gauge shells as I assume the Damascus steel barrels imply that it should only be limited to black powder rounds and will ID those rounds by the brass.
