Yes, as earlier thought, it appears to be a Bentley [Joseph or David] patent variation. Here are examples of both Bentley patents noted. Several makers, as well as Bentley, used these patents. I have seen Turner, Holland , and several others. The gun in question may contain the D. [David] Bentley patent 17,037 of 1884 [seen below] Without better and more detailed pictures it is hard to tell which Bentley or which Bentley patent is most related to the Cashmore gun in question. I suspect strongly the Cashmore relationship is with the David Bentley patent o 1884.
