Default Who Invented This?

This is a photo of a Westley Richards pinfire shotgun, converted to centerfire. The WR patent toplever would help date the CF conversion to post 1862ish, I would think. Was it for conventional (for the time) shotshells, or patent shells with a nipple and percussion cap? Unfortunately, the pinfire hammers have been ruined.
