Need to ID stock marks on 1861 Tower P-53 Musket

I have P-53 Tower Musket, 3 band. The stock is marked with the name of Tipping & Lawden on bottom. There is a circle with TG or JG or T&C or J&G in it just in front of the buttplate tang. If the symbol for "and" is used it is more of a squiggle and not the "&" as used today. Thanks for any help.
