Location: Birmingham, England

Perhaps the best known manufacturer of double-barrel shotguns in England during 19th Century. Greener was also a prolific author. His name will forever be associated with "Greener Crossbolt". Greener hammer-model shotguns were quite popular in United States during last half of 19th century. Company is still in business in Birmingham and makes a limited number of custom guns. Plain boxlock non-ejector models can start at $1,500, while high-end early guns with exceptional engraving can bring $100,000 or more. Because of the wide range of models and grades, a professional appraisal would be necessary before any transaction.
