Curl-

That's what I meant to say.
Mortimer, not Manton.

There seems to have been a pair of 12b mantons sold at the june 9 auction for $13kUSD (just checked the holts website)

I wonder what the condition was on that pair.

Really, a cased pair of 12b percussion howdah pistols from a known maker at $13,000 sounds pretty darn good!
