OP Two Triggers Sidelock Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 1,002 Nebraska	My 18-bore percussion Joseph Manton (circa 1820-25) has London BP rough and final proof marks, as well as a "CL" stamped on the underside of the barrels, a couple of inches foward of the breech plug. Anyone know what these letters designate? Thanks. TT "The very acme of duck shooting is a big 10, taking ducks in pass shooting only." - Charles Askins
