Additional Information:

This is a very scare out of print book by William Keith Neal and David Henry Lempriere Back. It is from a private collection and is NOT an Ex-Library book.
.

This book is the definitive story of the Manton Brothers, detailing the various types of guns they made, their patents, serial number lists and sales records. When it comes to Manton Guns this book gives you more information than any other source. This book gives dates of manufacture, description of individual arms, many pictures and information not available anywhere else.

This book traces the steps of John Manton and Joseph Manton with their workmanship of making guns from the late 1700s on into the 1800s. It tells about their lives and even has a good bit of genealogy included. Even Thomas Manton is mentioned later in the book including the guns that he made.

The Mantons were known as some of the world's finest gunmakers ever.
