The W.W. Greener Hammer Rifle is a classic British sporting rifle, handcrafted during the golden age of English gunmaking. Built by W.W. Greener of Birmingham—one of the most respected names in Victorian firearms—it reflects the exceptional craftsmanship, strength, and elegant styling for which the maker became renowned throughout the British Empire.

Chambered in the powerful .500 Black Powder Express, this rifle was designed for hunting large game during the late 19th century. Featuring exposed hammers and a robust break-action design, it combines traditional aesthetics with dependable mechanical operation. The .500 Black Powder Express cartridge earned an excellent reputation for hunting deer, stag, and larger game, and later formed the basis for several famous Nitro Express cartridges.

This example remains in good condition for its age, retaining its classic character. A highly desirable piece for collectors of fine British sporting arms, black powder enthusiasts, or those seeking a historically significant hunting rifle.
