My friend presented me with a couple shotguns this evening and I can;t find anything on them. Info and pricing on these would be great.

The first is a Mugica Eibar .410 single shot.
The second is a J. Manton fine twist 12 guage side by side.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm stumped on this one.

There where two makers who stamped guns J.Manton one in England and one in Belgium.

The English where higher quality.

Is it a black powder shotgun?

Inspection by a good double should be done before firing the old double. Many guns in England with twist barrels have been proofed for modern loads, But dont assume yours can take the pressure.


Can only tell you the single shot is Spanish.

Model? Metal Condition? Wood condition? caliber? Extra holes? Better yet, a photo!
Dont ask what its worth without giving some info!!

Value will be depend on condition and what grade of gun it is.

I would recommend registering here and asking

Provide photos with your question as its hard to determine value with out seeing the gun.
