ENGRAVED Antique J. MANTON Percussion DOUBLE BARREL 12 Gauge HAMMER Shotgun
Mid-19th Century European 12 Gauge Side by Side
Here we present an antique Engraved J. Manton Percussion Double Barrel Side by Side Shotgun made circa the 1850s in London, England. There were originally two Manton brothers, John was the elder and Joseph was the younger. John was born in 1752, and after his apprenticeship, set up shop in London in Piccadilly. John Manton was active in London from 1781 to 1834. He began making percussion weapons in 1825.
The firm used the name "John Manton and Son" from 1820, though his son George Henry Manton had joined him in 1814. After John's death the family continued to operate the business into the early 20th century with some slight changes in the name. Among the apprentices he trained in gunmaking are famous names such as William Greener and John Blanch, along with his famous brother, Joseph Manton.
The overall condition is good. Original patina. Strong action. Both bores are in good shape. Sturdy stock and the checking remains nice. Legible markings. This example is lightly engraved with traditional floral designs. The patchbox lid is a replacement.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrels are 32 inches.
