An image from the net.

One of our members also has the image on his fb pages, RigbyMauser. Has he been there? I don't know.

I think Manton's is in Calcutta.

I have my favorite place too. One place I hate to tell Brian, our enthusiastic member of the expedition, is about Manton & Co. Gun Makers. Brian is a gun collector, and here at Manton's he will go mad. Manton & Co. Gun makers was established in Calcutta, India by Frederick Manton in 1825. Managed by John Augustus Manton, and when I first went there in 1965, it was run by Mr. Greengrass. How wonderful to sit in the shop, in great old rattan chairs, drink tea, and talk about guns. Mr. Greengrass I am sure is long gone but there must be another there to manage and carry on great tales of tiger hunts and jungle safaris.

That is Calcutta in part.
