Any one know this Maker
«

A friend has a 62 caliber trade gun and can't identify the maker. The top of the barrel is marked
OVERMYER
in script and has London stamped on the top of the barrel. It has a beautiful curly maple stock. I do not know about the lock. Hopefully I can get a picture in the next couple of days
Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a not so good picture
Moderators if this has to be moved please do so.

I knew John Overmeyer. He was a nice guy and a good gun builder. He is no longer with us. I gave hem a forge.
