I just acquired a very rare shotgun and before I show the whole gun I want to know who this maker was. I think its French but can't make heads nor tails of this makers mark. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Once I find out who made it I will post the whole shotgun.

I swear it looks like "our H_____" I can't make out what follows the H and I only took a stab at what precedes the H. Do you suppose the lock plate could have been engraved in English as a presentation?
 
I believe it is but the rest is a mystery. Thanks to the link that @Lanyard Puller posted we now know that it was made in St Etienne France between 1856 1869 so with that info I believe its the makers mark.
