I saw the last 10 minutes of a Joseph Manton documentary on History International on Sunday morning, 11/15. the two high points were that Manton rarely had proofmarks on his guns (??!!), and that the British government stiffed him out of a contract for rifled artillery pieces, after he did all the experimenting and testing.
I'd like to see the rest of the program, but i haven't seen it listed in the next few days; anybody have any info on it?
sorry for the thread hijack.
