P 62062 The book lists serial Nos.58282-62821 as made in 1966 by Webley & Scott Ltd. As Gunman rightly pointed out, W&S took over the manufacturing in 1965.

Dave53 Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Hi all just reading the topic about greener gp's. My wife bought me one in 1977 as a birthday pressie from S R Jefferies in Guilford now long gone, apparently it was found in a barn. I think it cost about £40, it is a take down model has a thumb screw on the lhs of the action to remove the barrel, serial no 1382 with a 26in barrel. it stills shoots well albeit with 2 1/2 in chambers. It has been used for anything from geese to charlie. would it be possible to find the date of build. Many thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus1977 Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hi, I was hoping for some help identifying what year my Greener GP shotgun was made, serial number G83098. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks, Marcus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowanus Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 If I can jump in… I have a Greener GP with no manufacturer marks and no serial number. It does have British proof marks and the “Made in England” export stamp. back when I purchased it I sent a photo to Graham Greener because I thought it was maybe built as a line throwing gun. He confirmed that it was built as a standard 12ga and not for line throwing, but he couldn’t give any info aside from that. has anyone else come across an unmarked, unserialized GP? For how quirky it is, it’s one of my favorite guns. Especially cut down by a previous owner. The photo is from this autumn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it could come under category 1. Edited December 28, 2023 by Old Boggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
