Cased Set of Factory Engraved Manton Double Barrel Percussion Shotguns

A) Joseph Manton Double Barrel Percussion Shotgun

Manufactured circa 1828. The browned Damascus steel barrels with single bead sight on the smooth concave rib marked "JOSEPH MANTON MARY-LE-BONE PARK HOUSE NEW ROAD LONDON" pierced platinum plugs, and floral scroll flourish toward the breech. The locks are both marked "JOSEPH MANTON PATENT" and display beautiful floral scroll engraving which extends to the hammers, both tangs, trigger guard, and the stylized finials. Highly figured stock with multi-point checkering at the straight wrist showing carved flats and a steel buttplate which has been engraved to match on the extended buttplate tang. The guns come in a custom wooden double gun takedown case which hold wads, cards, a shot flask, cleaning tools, and a powder flask for both guns as well as a glass oiler and a wad of tow. Length of pull 14 5/16 inches.

ConditionVery good, showing a mix of brown and grey patina on the barrels, silver patina on the other metal parts, and light handling evidence. There is a repaired crack running across the underside of the stock through the trigger guard finial; otherwise, the stock is very good with some chipping and well-defined checkering. The case and accessories are very good. Mechanically excellent.
