Manton and J. Manton London Fine Twist markings are attributable to any specific maker.</p><p><br /></p><p>My references do indicate that other unknown English makers used the Manton name and I can only surmise that your shotgun was made by one of these unknown makers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Shotguns with Twist Composite Steel barrels are not considered safe to use with modern ammunition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Retail value for a gun in the condition shown would range from $100 to $200 depending on mechanical and bore condition.”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
