Inter War 1935 Patent British Greener Mark III, 12 Bore ‘EG’ Egyptian Police Contract Martini Action Riot Shotgun**UK 2003 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED** Sn 955 - 955
The Greener police shotgun is one of most unusual fighting shotguns which were employed by law enforcement organizations throughout former British empire. Despite its obsolete design (which traces its roots as far back as 1860s) Greener police guns can be still encountered in hands of police officers in some more remote parts of the world, mostly in Asia and Africa. Story of the Greener police gun began shortly after the WW1, when British colonial police forces requested a weapon, suitable for riot control and prison guard duty. This request was full filled by famous British gunmaker W.W. Greener, who developed a single-shot shotgun, based on the long-obsolete but rugged Martiny single-shot action. The guns featured very rugged wooden full stock with steel nose cap and butt plate, so it can be safely and routinely used not only as a gun, but also as a club, banging doors and occasional hot heads in the course of upkeeping the law and order. The Greener police gun mark III. The Greener police shot gun Mark III is a single shot weapon. It uses Martiny type hinged block action, controlled by a lever located below the stock. This is a very good original example of the Greener Mark III 12 Bore Egyptian Police Contract Martini Action Shotgun. It measures 42 ¼” overall with a 26” round steel barrel. It has the correct full stock with single barrel band, steel muzzle block with blade foresight, grooved action rear sight and steel butt cap. The all original wood stock has just light bumps and bruises to be expected with age and service use. The action & barrel are crisply marked with proofs maker & model designation and ‘EG’ to the Egyptian Police and serial number 36873 (all illustrated). Deactivated to UK specification in 2003 the weapon cocks & dry fires. The price includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery. Sn 955

The Vickers K machine gun, known as the Vickers Gas Operated (Vickers G.O.) or Gun, Machine, Vickers G.O. .303-inch in British service, was a rapid-firing machine gun developed and manufactured for use in aircraft by Vickers-Armstrongs. The high rate of fire was needed for the short period of time when the gunner would be able to fire at an attacking aircraft. The weapon was adopted for land use during World War II. The Special Air Service adopted the weapon for their hit and run tactics, mounting it in pairs on their jeeps. Over the years, it was assumed by some that they took the phased-out VGO because they could obtain no other suitable machine guns, but with its high rate of fire and low-friction locking design. The Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) was a reconnaissance and raiding unit of the British Army during the Second World War who also made use of the gun during their raids.
