Hello fellas. I purchased my first flintlock today, a 45 cal. Hatfield rifle. I am hoping that some of you can shed some light on how I can find out when it was made and by whom, i.e. Ted Hatfield or a later company.
The barrel is 39" long and it has Hatfield and 45 cal. stamped on the top flat. Hatfield and Warranted is stamped on the lock.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
