Indians For Guns

Dear Friends,

I have seen a good condition Menton Shot Gun ( England,Barrel Length 30",With Ejector + Side Lock + Cross Bolt ). It is having with father of my friend. I am unable to judge the price of that Gun. Please help me to find out its exact cost.

Thanks

Menton of Calcutta was brand name of a sporting goods firm located at what is now called BBD Bag at Kolkata. They were something like a contemporary departmental store of that time. They had sporting arms made for them by the co-operatives of Birmingham with Menton as a brand name.It should be a very good gun provided:-
a] It has 2.75 inch chambers at least. If it is having two and half inch chambers then i would not buy it.
b] It should be proof marked for three and quarter tons or one and quarter ounces of load at least. This can be made out from the proof marks.
c] If the above conditions are satisfied and the weapon is 95 percent or above in condition then it should be atleast one lakh in price.

Thanks for valuable comment.

Manton ????

My father holds a Manton DBBL gun, the finish of this gun is very nice and the gun is very steady. with the chamber size 2.5" . Its barrels are with fine finish lines with a full chock left & cylender right, worth to have in collection.
