Hatfield Rifle Value

[Roy Gearhart]

I have a friend whose husband passed away. She would like to sell his Hatfield .50 cal flintlock. It has nice curly maple stock showing minor wear from use. Appears well maintained. I'm looking for current values for her. Has anyone brought one recently?

Most likely fetch around $800 range around here.

where was it made U.S.A. or the pedisoli model??

I have an early version made here in Missouri, if I were trying to sell it I'd start at 1000 and come down a little.

Well it does say, "Hatfield," right on the lock and has stock wood not seen on Pedersoli guns.

Thanks for replies, I was guessing a value of the cuff 700-1000. I'm hoping to hear from someone who has seen them sell recently.
I don't know if in the early days of manufacturing where he sourced parts or when he began to source parts from Pedersoli. This is nice curly maple so it is not made by Pedersoli.

I have two Hatfields, a .45 Flintlock with a barrel made by Pedersoli and a .50 Caplock made by Hatfield. The only way to know the difference is to pull the barrel to view the bottom flat.

Here's the .50.

Here's the .45.

I wouldn't turn loose of either one for less than $1,000.

Thanks for those details semisane. I appreciate the help.
