Description: CASED & ENGRAVED Antique MANTON Patent SILVER Saw Handle PERCUSSION Pistol 1830s-40s London Made BELT Pistol w/ACCESSORIES Here we present an antique Cased and Engraved Manton Patent Silver Saw Handle Percussion Belt Pistol, made circa the 1830s-40s in London, England. There were originally two Manton brothers, John was the elder and Joseph was the younger. John was born in 1752, and after his apprenticeship, set up shop in London in Piccadilly. John Manton was active in London from 1781 to 1834. He began making percussion weapons in 1825. The firm used the name “John Manton and Son” from 1820, though his son George Henry Manton had joined him in 1814. After John's death the family continued to operate the business into the early 20th century with some slight changes in the name. Among the apprentices he trained in gunmaking are famous names such as William Greener and John Blanch, along with his famous brother, Joseph Manton. This pistol features a slender frame with an ergonomic “saw handle” silver grip, which places the axis of the bore low in the hand. The .50 caliber octagonal barrel is 5-1/4 inches in length and bears “Manton Patent London” on the top flat. The silver frame and barrel end are nicely engraved. This is a neat and utterly unique little pistol! The overall condition is fine. Even patina throughout. The action is strong. The bore is smooth and dim. Birmingham proof marks. The case is good condition. The bottom front, right corner and part of the bottom is cracked. Several repairs have been performed to the interior of the case. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 5-1/4 inches. Caliber: .50 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE.
