I want to share a link and some information Cambo was able to provide. It seems that EC Hodges was the brother in-law to TR Hasdell. I will post pictures later today and appreciate any information others can share on this gun.
http://hodgesgunmakers.yolasite.com/1855 December - EC marries Emma Lane of North Walsham. Her parents were Groom Lane, a Norfolk tanner (b.1780 – d.1855) and Harriet Caroline Ladell nee Worm (b.1792 – d. 1869). Pre-marriage address was 23 St James St (now Chantry St), Islington, lodging with George Woods, a barrister's clerk. Emma was living with sister Frances and her North Walsham (NFK) born gunmaker husband Thomas Robert Hasdell (1825-1887) at no.14 in the same street. Hasdell later moved his business to Clerkenwell and was still active in The Field trials of 1866. Thomas and Frances emigrated to Chicago shortly afterwards (date?) and Thomas seems to have had a successful gunmaking career until his death in 1887
