Default question about a shotgun...anybody know anything about them

First off not for sale just wanting to know what I have,found some info on internet but limited!
It's a Gasquione & Dyson 14 ga. made in Manchester England between 1843 and 1869.The old shotgun is damascus barreled and wood is in amazing condition for age! What really floored me is the engraving is like it just came out of custom shop on 95% of gun!Still has ramrod with it and ebony cleaning rod/jag.The springs are still great shape when ****ing,no slop or weakness,very little mushrooming on nipples from dry snapping.Like I said the engraving is fantastic,can even see detail in scene on buttplate of dogs flushing birds(buttplate looks nickel) and gold medallion on tang has never been scratch on.Anybody have better avenues for info than what I have found would be great! I don't have much in the gun just bought it cause it closely matches the 375 Kynoch Greener I already have
