Title: Hatfield flintlock - anyone know about these?
Post by: hillbillyhunting on November 17, 2017, 11:15:32 PM: Hi all, I picked up a 50 cal Hatfield flintlock on a whim because I thought it was a good price and may be worth more than the asking price.

Does anyone know how to age these rifles? I was told this one is likely really old due to the hexagon shaped ramrod. :dunno:

How could I determine the value of the rifle?

Thanks in advance for any advice or information you may have.
