Antique English Side-by-Side Double-Barrel Percussion Shotgun, by Manton, NVSN, 16 ga., 34'' barrels with bead front and added small buckhorn style rear sights, marked ''London Fine Twist'' on full-length top rib; plain lockplates are marked ''Manton'' and have fine double borders, as do the hammers; double triggers; steel furniture including the border-engraved triggerguard with long front and rear tangs having fancy finials, buttplate, and three ferrules retaining the brass-tipped hardwood ramrod; single barrel key with two oval German-silver escutcheons; varnished English walnut halfstock with checkering at wrist and a vacant German-silver nameplate at bottom of butt.
