It was a Greener Mk.III(?) shotgun that was in pretty decent shape, but I was a bit puzzled by the buttstock that, besides being a poor fit in the socket, had a brass buttplate with trapdoor ala SMLE. Did the Greener shotguns come with that style of buttplate? *"For a man, be he ever so much resolved to do his duty as a parent, can't be flogging his children all day....."* The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq.

That isn't your Martini you have. It belonged to others before you and will belong to others after you are gone. Look after it, and pass it on with pride. It deserves it."
