From another Damon Mills listing:

"Thomas Bailey was active in New Orleans from the early 1850's until 1863. After New Orleans fell to the North during the Civil War, he immigrated to England and never returned. I guess he gave up on America and left, like some of us might like to do now."

I also found a historical listing of gunsmiths in New Orleans. They list Thomas Bailey as active from 1853-1861 and 1879-1884 and noted he was in London in between.

So I have a pretty good idea of where and who made it and a possible 30 year period it could have been made in.


Edit- LittleGator looks like we were on the same pages this morning! I saw that listing with the address as well. I will try to research the address. It would be interesting to know what is there now and if the building still exists.
