A friend of mine just bought an old shotgun at a show. His guess is that the shotgun was made sometime in the early 1800s. It was made by a gunsmith named John Manton, and the gun has "London" scribed into it.
We're wondering if anyone has any information on this gun and can appraise its history, where it fits into the evolution of gun technology, and how collectible this gun is, as well as the value of this gun.
