Matt, That is a nice percussion shotgun. I don't have any information on the maker. I just wanted to share that I like these old guns as well. I also like the look of back action locks on any gun...including Parkers!
I have a 15 gauge percussion shotgun that was made in Germany. If I am organized it doesn't take much more effort to shoot these guns. I have a powder measure flask and shot measure flask that helps. Like you I have been impressed by the way mine shoots. It is one of my favorite shotguns.
I have included percussion shotguns on all of my auction searches lately. Lot's of of amazing mid 19th century craftsmanship.
