Egyptian, Greener Police Gun Mark III (Sarco Inc), CAL: 14GA Greener, MFG: 1930's, SN: 38438, Lever Action Single Shot Shotgun, 26'' barrel. At the time in Egypt, corruption was on the forefront, frequently criminals would pay policemen to ''borrow'' their guns to commit crimes. To prevent unauthorized use, the Mk III was developed. The Mk III the striker has three separate points instead of a single firing pin. The center projection was the firing pin, but in order for it to work, the two outer pins had to fit into an annular groove in the base of the 14GA Greener cartridges. This change prevented criminals from using standard ammunition in the guns. Mk III guns were produced in 14 bore that takes a special bottlenecked cartridge that had a 12 bore base, but necked down to 14 bore. All cartridges have a annular groove in the base to function in the police gun. Included in this lot is a single, unfired 14GA Greener shotgun shell. The left side of barrel is marked with many proof marks & other informational markings, the top of the barrel is marked '' GREENER MARK III''. Left side of receiver is marked in two lines '' W.W GREENER.MAKER PATENT. NO463628/35'' & the right side of receiver is marked ''EG MARK III''. The straight grip full length wood stocks are excellent. There are multiple contusions, scrapes & dings to the finish. The metal blue finish on the barrel has worn to metal grey, with a thin brown patina & the receiver rates 85%, with spotting, toned to a brown patina. Bore is very good, shows normal use. Bore is excellent. The receiver has an integrated notch that acts like a rear sight & the barrel holds a small half-moon blade front sight. Sling loops. Smooth metal trapdoor buttplate. In total, appx 37,000 guns of this type were produced. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 400 to 800
