The stock chequering is not in the English style. Could of course be a restock by a North American gunsmith. The possibility dose exist that the gun was made up in the U.S.A. from imported components.
At the time when this gun was made there were out-workers in the English trade who made complete guns for their own benefit.These people would often choose the name of a deceased gun maker to apply to the guns they intended to sell.I have seen examples of breech loading guns bearing the name of maker that was long dead before the advent of the breech loader.
