Hatfield was originally a small shop that made custom muzzleloeaders. They got into making shotguns because they had tons( literally) of good stock wood way too short for the Pa long rifles they made.
Hatfield shotguns are excellent, recalling the classic designs of yesteryear,and made well. Looking through a copy of Double Gun Journal, I see classic Brit Game Guns go for up to $50,000,and field grade Fox, Parker and LC Smith guns go for up to $6,000. So that Hatfield might be quite a deal.
