Anyone help me identify this gun?  It looks to be a symbol of a sitting coyote?

Are there any proof marks on the barrel or inside the locks? 

That maker's mark doesn't appear in any of my reference material.  The NRA museum and doesn't have anything resembling it either.  Possibly it is a apprentice or helper's mark.  The fact that it is applied to the lock and barrel is a bit puzzling.  if you ever find out anything about it I'd be interested in hearing what you've learned. 
I usually delete my posts after two days.

I've never claimed to be a house painter or a mechanic...it always amazes me how many people want to claim to be a lawyer.

Mystery may have been solved

This could be a North Star West version of the North West Trade Gun.

It had the Sitting Fox Stamped or cast into the lock face.

Originated by Curly Gustomski in Dayton Ohio in the 60's it was later sold and moved to Glecoe CA. and then to Superior, Montana and again to Frenchtown MT. in 2002.

It is no longer in business but made pretty authentic reproductions of these Trade Guns for many years

Check out Museum of the Fur Trade in Chadron, Nebraska. for details on originals.
