Have you been able to determine who E.Bridges was?

Looks like hot lead was poured into the hole in the stock behind the butt plate.

it maybe lead. It wieghs right at 10Lbs. I have not been able to find out who E. Bridges is. The shotgun came to me from New York. My mothers maiden name was Bridges but I doubt there is any relation.
