Your gun would date to 1830 according to "Forsyth & Co Patent Gunmakers" book.
For me the hammer style is something special - called "Dolphin" hammers if my memory is correct ?
Forsyth originally set up his own business in 1808 with a James Purdey as stocker, lock filer, and later as manager. Forsyth had sold out his interest in the business in 1819 and returned to his original job in Aberdeenshire.
