I agree there. Those old Hatfield's were nice. They always put a nice stick of curly maple on their guns including their muzzleloading 'Kentucky' rifles and shotguns. I believe their shotgun parts were supplied from Spain, (or Italy, possibly? as my longrifle I bought in the 80's had Italian proof marks on it) and stocked by Hatfield in St Joe, Missouri.

Joe, could you shed some light on that?
