Ah, I think PeteM is hot on the trail getting back to our old friend W.J.(Charles?) Harvey. Looks like W.J. worked in tandem with an E. Brooks under patent No. 950/1862?
Kind Regards,

E. Brooks shows 2 patents, both for sliding breech:
1863 1585
1866 2196
I can not find 1862 950, sorry.
C. Brooks had 21 patents. I did not check them all.
Unfortunately my source is very abbreviated and usually does not show co-holders or a place of residence.

I haven't located it either but I wish I had an image of Henry Jones #950 of 1861. I wonder if E. Brooks was Edgar Brooks, sword maker?   Kind Regards, Raimey rse

if someone can provide an estimated value that would be great
$800 to $1200 depending on the bore condition....if they are pitted the value would be less.

And not a word has been spoken about the engraving! Absolutely incredible work. Enlarge it on your screen if you can see the detail and precise execution. this guy was good!

I thought the carved stock in lieu of checkering was a very nice touch. I wish I had the patience, skill, and tools to do that.
