W.W. Greener, EG Mark III Police Gun, CAL: 14GA Police Cartridge, MFG: 1930's-40's, S/N: 43606, Lever action single shot shotgun, 26'' barrel.
HISTORY: The Greener police gun, also marked ''EG'' (Egyptian Gun), was a modified martini action shotgun made to meet the demand for a police weapon & riot control gun. First made in 1922 & Produced in large quantities after the company won a contract to supply these weapons to the Egyptian police force. Both sporting & police models were made until 1998 when production ceased. Three marks of the police guns were made, the mark 3 here used a special designed cartridge. With the rampant corruption in Egypt at the time, criminals would pay off police to borrow their guns to commit crimes. In order to stop this, the mark III was designed to use a special cartridge that had three striker projections, only the police were supplied with the ammo & regular ammunition would not work.
CONDITION: The original straight grip wood stocks are very good & solid, having been sanded & refinished at one time. There are numerous smoothed contusions, scrapes & dings.

GREENER MAKER'' over ''PATENT No.463628/35'', top left edge is marked with a crown over ''BV'' proof, & the bottom left edge is stamped ''14GA.'', ''ENGLAND'', ''SARCO STIRLG'', ''NU''. The right side of the receiver is marked ''EG'' over ''MARK III'', marking is thinned from wear. Arabic markings at the top of the receiver, to the right of the rear sight groove. The blued finish on the barrel has fully toned to a smooth brown patina & the receiver rates 50%, with areas toned to a brown patina & worn to metal gray. The left side of the barrel is marked with proofs & shot info. The top of the chamber is marked ''GREENER'' over ''MARK III'' slightly hidden with tool marks. Right side of the chamber marked with S/N. ''EG'' is stamped on trigger guard & lever. The bore is very good with wear marks from use, striations & small spots of roughness.
