Walnut stocks extend to within 3/4″ of muzzles and have checkered bag grips. Furniture is of iron. Trigger guards with scroll on bows terminate in small pineapples. Top straps have been extended into grips. Quartered oak case with pivoting hook closure has small inset D-ring handle. Interior is lined in green cloth and has John Manton label in lid (used between 1823 and 1840). Case contains a steel nutcracker ball mold, ebony handled nipple wrench, brass bodied powder/ shot cap flask, as well as a brass and rosewood cleaning rod. CONDITION: Fair to Good.

Stocks show considerable cleaning with a number of repairs on both guns. Wood is well below metal. Case is refinished. Interior cloth is good, with rubs and marks. Old label appears to have been exposed after being under a subsequent label, and is considerably foxed, tattered, and thin. Partitions are good. One compartment cover is a replacement.
