.45-70 Rifleman

I need information on a SxS double rifle marked Manton & Co. and made for, or by, Webley & Scott. It is a hammerless boxlock with simple scroll engraving but nothing ornate. The caliber is marked 25-35. The reciever has what I believe are London proof marks - a crown over a V. I have looked in all the resources I have available and I find no association between Manton & Co. and Webley & Scott. Niether can I find any information on a small bore double rifle by Webley & Scott or by Manton & Co for that matter. I am assuming it was made for the USA market because it is marked 25-35 rather than 6.5x52R. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
