Can anyone give me info on a WW Greener shotgun?

So today we discovered my great uncle had a shotgun in his house that he had forgotten about. Its an old underlever SxS that was my great granddads. So far I can't find much on the net. Can anyone give me any info on this gun? Give me an idea of age or where I'd find info?
I'll post pics in the comments
Cheers

I think they are fairly common mate, don't quote me on it though, ask a gun shop would be a good idea.

G'day Kelsey Clooter,
First I would need to see a clear pic of the name on the rib, and any other marks that might be on top of the barrels. next, and most important I need to see clear pics of all marks on the breech flats of the barrels. A Jones Underlever back action gun from Greener could be one of theirs or might just as well be one of the trade guns sold under their name. There were also a lot of guns, particularly in this country, made to look like Greeners to the extent of having the name on the rib, with a different initial ie: AW Greener. (Your action is a Greener, that "elephant:" stamp is Greeners Regd Trade Mark).

What No1Mk3 said.

If it's the real deal, could be worth a bit too.

If you contact Greener in the UK and give them the serial number and a description of the gun, they will be ab le to tell you when it was made.
I did it my Uncles Empire Greener, and they got back to me, and told me when it was made.
Cheers. Baz.
