I don't have anything on this particular gun, however, it appears to be what they call a guild gun. One made by a group of people. One does the wood, one does the barrels and one does the receiver. This type of gun "Guild Gun" were mostly Drillings (three Barrel, guns) and custom made.

I've looked and looked and looked. And found zero. I did learn a lot about the textile industry and why the area was so highly industrialized. John
