As you have discovered, the metal bits began in Birmingham. Quite probably the wood too. But who finished it up, and where is the cypher. Thankfully the the resto was responsibly done and quite nice. A gun to be proud of!

thanks John- i know it is unlikely to be solved- the only other clue is the word? Name? TENT struck on the underside of the one tube - there is a ghost that may be another letter in front of that. but if is is a name, I would guess it to be the barrel finisher

That word on the barrel could be "Patent." (Like that helps...)
