Joseph Manton, London, 1760-1835. Manufacturer of rifled shoulder arms, double rifles and shotguns.

Better photos and some of the bottom of the barrels and action water table would help.

Don't shoot it. The barrels are damascus and modern powder, or any powder, actually, could damage the gun. Value is in originality.
