Speaking from this side of the pond, double rifles are always going to be more difficult to sell. Your Greener is a very nice rifle but:
1) 360 No2 whilst a very good cartridge is not a big dangerous game type cartridge. It’s a antelope, deer, wildboar type cartridge. And I don’t think anyone is now making ammo other than Kynoch. It is nominally 9.3 so you can probably use 9.3 bullets.
If it was or had been rechambered to 9.3 x74r then it would be more usable for wildboar etc as ammo is more readily available
2) for its intended use, most nowadays use an optical sight and most buyers would want it scoped.
3) and Greener are no longer in existence so you don’t have any market drive from an ongoing brand.
You also need to factor that for many, the Pandemic has put paid to many hunting adventures, and thus purchase of rifles.
So what you have is a nice double rifle, but most potential buyers these days would struggle to find a use for it, and being a boxlock, it has minimal collector value. If it was a 9.3x74r, 375 h&h, 400 or 470 nitro, then there would be a market.
So what is your estimation of value/price?
