Highly desirable Birmingham, England-manufactured W.W. Greener Martini-Henry Cadet single-shot rifle chambered in .297/250, featuring an especially interesting and collectible takedown configuration. This attractive example showcases the craftsmanship of renowned British gunmaker W.W. Greener and features a 26-inch barrel with a sharp, well-defined bore and a 14-inch length of pull. The rifle displays minimal general handling wear, including scattered minor dings and scratches, while retaining an appealing historic appearance. The wooden stock exhibits a few small areas of missing wood accumulated through years of use, although it remains solid and structurally sound. Particularly noteworthy is the rifle's takedown design, adding considerable interest to this classic Martini-pattern action and making it an appealing variation for collectors of traditional British single-shot firearms. Mechanically, the action functions smoothly and properly. Adding further collector appeal is the rifle's former ownership by the late Vic Samuel, an American gunsmith recognized for his specialized work with Martini-pattern rifles and custom single-shot sporting and target rifle conversions. Samuel's craftsmanship and dedication to traditional single-shot rifle designs make firearms associated with his collection particularly interesting to enthusiasts of historic British sporting arms. With its desirable W.W. Greener markings, unusual takedown configuration, sharp bore, and Vic Samuel collection association, this is a distinctive and highly collectible Martini-Henry Cadet rifle. C&R eligible.
