A good friend of mine picked me up to go to Holts on Tuesday evening. I managed to hobble around the place but in truth shouldnt have gone.

However, I was caught by a little 28 bore Manton and Co. Manton and Co was setup by Josephs son in India. However a company called Wallis, who also purchased the Samual Nock's business (Nigel Brown), purchased Manton and Co and I am assuming that the gun would have been made in London or more likely Birmingham. Others more knowledgable will put me straight I hope!

Sadly, because of this, I can't date it. Unless anyone can tell me otherwise.

This is quite an emotional gun for me. I want to finish it for Will because it's natural progression from his .410. Which he shoots so well. I'm so proud. It's off to my mate Ed Monday for him to work his magic. I've taken a punt on this..It could fail proof...but if it doens't it it'll be magic!
