Greener GP
Notes: This is
an old single-barrel shotgun based on the old British Martini rifle.
The original manufacturer, WW Greener and Company, went out of business
long ago, and the design was bought by Webley.
Though the shotgun was introduced in 1900, it was still being
manufactured on a small scale in

I. Hollis & Sons 12-Bore
Notes: This is
an old side-by-side 12 gauge shotgun designed at the beginning of the 20th
century and sold for about 25 years.
Examples of these guns are valuable antiques, but they are also still
fully functional and can even be used today as sporting weapons, so excellent is
their construction. The gun uses a
fancy English walnut stock with a Prince of Wales grip, a blued barrel cluster,
case-color hardened action, and side plates with engraving.
The barrels are a full 30 inches, with both barrels having Full chokes.
It is designed specifically to fire very heavy lead shot, and can fire
most types of 12 gauge shot rounds available today.
Its a bit heavy for this type of shotgun, but is very well-balanced and
easy to wield. The grip is
checkered. The action is a box lock
with a substantial crossbolt.

Lancaster 4-Barrel
Notes: More
fully named the Charles Lancaster Four-Barrel Hammerless Game Shotgun, this
weapon was designed for fowling in a time when semiautomatic and pump-action
shotguns were not so much a thing.
As you might guess, this shotgun has four barrels, which are fired using a
rotating internal hammer, with the upper left barrel firing first, the upper
right barrel fifing second, the lower right barrel firing third, and finally the
lower left barrel, assuming the shooter does not manually index a certain
barrel. The trigger guard contains
two triggers, with the rear trigger indexing a barrel (and indexing sequencing
done in the order indicated); one then pulls the front trigger, which is
serrated for grip (the rear trigger is larger and more curved) to fire the
shotgun. The Lancaster 4-Barrel is
chambered for 2.75-inch 20-gauge shells; I have not been able to find out
whether Charles Lancaster made any of these shotguns in other chamberings.
Barrels are 28.25 inches. The stock is of oil-finished walnut and is of the
traditional drop-stock type. The
fore-end is short, just enough for a non-firing hand. Sights consist only of a
front bead. Behind the barrel block
at the top of the wrist is a breaking switch.
The Lancaster
4-Barrel is an altogether rather rare weapon.

Trulock & Harriss 12 Gauge
Notes: These are
old shotguns (often around 100 years), but such is the craftsmanship of the
weapons that they are perfectly functional and useable today.
It is a side-by-side double-barreled shotgun, in 12 gauge but with short
chambers of only 2.5 inches. It is
a classic British game gun, with a straight, slender wrist design and a stock of
fancy English walnut. It uses a box
lock, but has no ejectors or extractors of any kind.
The side plates are engraved.
The gun has double triggers.
One barrel has a quarter (an old measurement corresponding to somewhere between
Skeet and Improved Cylinder) choke, and the other has a Full choke.
They are 30 inches long. The
weapon has a top-tang safety and the metalwork is finished in blue enamel.
Most of these guns were originally made for blackpowder loads, but have
been modified for modern propellant.
