Has anyone ever heard of the subject maker/retailer? Considering one and I can not find any history on the internet.

There are several listings for Hammond in British Directories, they are as follows:
Hammond Joseph, Gun and pistol maker, 39 1/2 Lower Loveday Street,Birmingham.
Hammond Isaac, Winchester Hampshire,[Or Hants] 1829--1867
Hammond Bros; 40 Jewry [or Jewry] Street Winchester Hampshire, Circa,1900.and at later dates.
The Winchester Hammond was most likely the retailer of the gun that you are interested in. In all probability the gun was made for them in Birmingham.

Roy is correct, as always.

If it is Isaac Hammond, the firm was renamed in 1875 after he retired to Hammond Bros. The name remained until 1935.

For more information you can contact C G Cox of 150 Bassett Green Road, Southampton, Hampshire; Tel: 02380 315550. I do not have an email for him.
