Engraved W.W. Greener Field's Patent Single Shot Falling Block Rifle

Fitted with a windage adjustable beaded blade and a five leaf (four folding, one standing) notch sights. The rear sight base also includes an adjustable ladder graduated to 1,000 meters. The barrel is marked "W.W. GREENER 68 HAYMARKET LONDON" between the rear sight base and the breech. The side lever action features textured engraving with geometric borders on the sides. The trigger plate, lever, and top of the breech block feature delicate floral scroll engraving, as do the tangs. Fitted with a serrated trigger and exposed checkered hammer. Mounted on a multi-point checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with horn tip and grip caps and an engraved steel buttplate. There is no cartridge designation or any nitro proofs. May be one of many 500/450 cartridges.

ConditionVery good with 60% of the original blue finish. Showing some light muzzle wear, and general handling marks on the barrel. The action shows areas of an aged brown patina with the majority on the underside and tangs. The casehardened breech block and lever have areas of strong coloration with the higher points being a smooth gray. The wood is good with fine line checkering, some scattered bruises and a few indentations on the right side of the forearm and repaired cracks on each side of the stock at the action. The buttplate has a mottled gray/brown patina with light traces of original blue. Mechanically very good.
