English Shotgun History

I recently inherited a shotgun and can not seem to find any info on the maker. If anyone has information on Fred K Cole of 14 Market Place, Devizes, UK please let me know.

Thanks

Nothing in W. W. Greener's book, The Gun and its Development.

Pics of the gun and pics of all proof and maker's marks. Approximate age? As in kinda recent or really old? Damascus barrels?

The name might not na a maker, but maybe that of a retailer, similar to Sears.
