manufacturing turned toward internal hammers about 1870 just about the same time the transition from twist to fluid steel barrels appeared.
keep in mind that side hammers still appeared on center fire shotguns using brass cased shotgun shells that first appeared about 1860.
if it is a percussion cap shotgun its probably pre 1860.
