Good questions, unfortunately I haven't a clue. No markings on it so no idea who made it and the barrel is octagonal to round, I have no idea if it's swamped but from what I can tell it's not.

 

[kje54]

I just double checked it with a straight edge, it does appear to be swamped.

 

[kje54]

LOP is 13 3/4 in, total weight is around 8 1/2 lbs.

And the ROT?

Octagon/round , are you sure it's not a fowler?

Nope, it's rifled.
