History of the Martini Greener MK111 Police shotgun

These guns have a remarkable history as they evolved from the British Martini Henry of Zulu war fame. It was manufactured by W.W. Greener one of the most legendary arms factories in Britain.

These single-shot shotguns, built on the famous Military Martini rifle action, were made in England for Egyptian police and used in the early 20th century.

These guns were a classic large Martini dropping block design with two modifications.

  • A safety lever was added to the right side.
  • The guns were chambered for a special 14 gauge bottleneck shell with an annular groove in the base which provided clearance for the primer.
    This groove design prevented bandits or "terrorists" from using guns captured or stolen from the police, as ordinary shells could not be fired from these guns.
All these firearms have been used by police in some of the most exotic historical areas of the world.
