That one is going in every direction. It is obviously an attempt to play off the English Mantons. A famous name with a single initial appended is generally a tip-off. T. Parker, W. Richards, J. Manton etc. That gun is a Belgian and carries correct proofs, but personally I don't think it exhibits any characteristic of a quality or classic shotgun. Looks to be in decent condition, but the engraving is kind of crude with no real design theme and the stock is just weird. In my mind that is a $200 shotgun. That whole category of gun is hard to move.
