Hatfield muzzleloader

goalieman187
I just got a 50 caliber Hatfield muzzle loader and am having a hard time finding any info on it. It has a number stamped on the underside of the barrel #49150. I believe it to be around 20 years or more old. My step father ordered it direct. Any help would be appreciated.

    Back in that time frame, they offered both a percussion version, and a flint lock version. The flinter, was about $50.00 more than the percussion. They were about the best shooting patch and ball rifle of their day, and if I am not mistaken, had a twist rate of 1:66. They retailed for between $500.00, and $600.00.

    Thanks for the info it at least gives me an idea of what it may be worth. I was told by my mom that he paid around 600 for the gun. She thinks that he had some custom stuff done to it. Thanks again

    I also have one of those, and there were wood quality options including XXX as mine is. That added to the price and with a remembered price of $600 that may be the case with yours. They have held their value pretty well and can be found pretty frequently on GB auctions in the $500-$600 range. They were built in St. Joseph, Missouri by a descendant of 'Devil Anse' and thus are considered true Hatfields. You should be able to google up some history of the company. Keep yer powder dry...
