Was browsing through a little contry museum yesterday.One of the longguns was a Manton-cap lock converted from flint-12 ga.I beleive.Is there much chance of this being one of the predecessors of Purdey.The man purdey aprenticed to I think was manton.An interesting place with about 40 handguns-some colts-and 50 long guns including a 30-30 over .410 lever action made from a winchester.
