First, let me apologize, since this my first post and I'm hitting everyone up for information. I just found your website.
Here is the short story. I have my great grandfather's gun. It is a double barrel, percussion cap, muzzelloader. It has engravings on both sides that read as follows: "Gregg Hayden & Co.". On the top of the barrels it is engraved "Charleston, SC". I've done some cursory research on the web and apparently this company was in business between 1843 and 1855 as silversmiths, but I have yet to find any reference that they made any guns. Does anyone out there know anything about them?
Thanks in advance.
Marty
