Hi
if it is by another maker it will say so where the proof marks are or on the barrels wont it?
No, almost never. With Marrakai's example notwithstanding, that would be extremely rare. You just have to know what you're looking at to know which maker it is. Sometimes there is a maker's serial number on it (a different number than Manton's), and sometimes there isn't. Again, these were ALL made by someone else, not just some. Manton of Calcutta was exclusively a retailer by the time the breech loader arrived.

Its the one from gunsamerica.......i am sure some of you know it?
You'll have to provide a link. I never look at GA anymore since they butchered it. Utterly useless site. I checked and there is no Manton listed in double rifles.
