Which Manton? John and Joseph Manton were superb London gunmakers of the highest order, arguably he best in the world in their day. The firm of Manton & Co of Calcutta (and Delhi) retailed rifles made by others in a range of grades, including some brilliant stuff by W&C Scott, Wilkes, Webley, etc, as well as a scattering of hardware from European and American makers. More info required...! BTW, there is a good history of the Manton family of gunmakers and retailers on the web somewhere, possibly Internet Gun Club. Can anyone confirm...? |
