A 'W W Greener Mark III' probably refers to a W W Greener Mk III Police Gun made in large quantities for police and prison services primarily for riot control purposes. The Mk III had a special firing pin with three prongs and fired a special cartridge to prevent unauthorised use. The cartridge base had an annular groove running around the base so that the two outside prongs of the firing pin entered the groove when the gun was fired allowing the centre prong to detonate the cartridge. If normal ammunition was inserted into the breech the outside prongs would hit the base of the cartridge preventing the center prong from detonating the cap. The original Mk I was invented in 1921 and the Mk III with modified cartridge and firing pin was invented in 1935.
