John Manton, the refined elder of Britain's famed gunmaking family, established his Dover Street workshop as the epitome of elegance and precision. Serving aristocrats and statesmen, he set the standard for craftsmanship and prestige. It was here his brother Joseph learnt the art, launching innovations that shaped the modern sporting gun.
