Hi everybody, I've just acquired my first weapon...a WW Greener .310 and I was wondering if you guys could help me with some more information about it. Here's what I know:
Serial Number: 012139
The butt says W.W.Greener's Club Rifle
It has proof markings on the barrel that I can't make out clearly and also says it was "Made Expressly for ___________ Calcutta"- the rest is not legible.
first gun, greener

Welcome to IFG.

I really doubt if you could source ammunition for it in India.
Clear photos showing all the markings would help.

Re: first gun, greener
Hi!
So I've been trying to learn more about the Greener. It is a Miniature cadet rifle and serial number 012139 was made in 1902. It is a .310 calibre single barrel martini type rifle with 26 inch barrel. The marking on the gun says "Made Expressly for Lyon & Lyon, Calcutta"- they were agents for WW Greener in Calcutta from 1902 until 1933. I've attached a picture- part of the end of the barrel could not come in it.
