Very little is recorded of this gunsmith excepting the fact that he died in 1779.
Reference here to "Two case of brass mounted pistols, and two guns, mounted in the same manner",  gives us a little insight into his modus operandi at this time.

  Peter Alley originally listed by M.S. Dudley Westropp, MRIA. 
Journal Arms & Armour Society, 1957.
Vol.11. No 1
