William Hodsoll worked in London from 1798 to 1831 ,when his business was taken over by Zenas Trivet Purday ,according to Langwill .Mark with a lyre .
Yes, there is the lyre mark on the barrel.
I have never heard about this maker before.
I’m also impress by the metal inside the head: it seems pure silver: I was thinking that silver was used only to build keys in 1800’s flutes
