Contemporary smooth bore mark

Is anyone familiar with the maker's mark on this gun?  As can be seen, it is the letter H with an arrow, marked at the breech.

I don’t know but am very interested in when and where it was made.

That's  Jack Hubbard's mark.  I have one like that. He called them "early uglys" as he excels at simple well aged guns.
