David Manton Italian Flintlock Copy , who made it?

[ToothPick]

Recently I added this pistol to my collection and cant find out much about it. I could only find one other reference to it at a British deactivated can web site. All they mentioned was that it was Italian made.

No markings visable at all.


Any one know who made this one or have any other info?

Thanks

Maybe these pics will give a clue as to manufacturer. Here are a couple from a UK site from a gun that wasn't defarbed. All I can make out is date of manufacture. Made in Italy and Model name. No makers name.

Made in 1987, Italian proofed, AND a Birmingham proof mark. Hmmmmmm Nice-looking piece, too.
