While my query is not really appropriate for this forum, it is as close as I'll get. I have the fixin's for a percussion cap lock Over/Under howdah pistol partly assembled. It definitely needs a new grip/stock, plus relatively routine restoration. I seek an American gunsmith/restorer for it.
Following are photographs of a similar howdah, with an integral loading rod (mine does not) and a much smaller bore.
