1849 heartford?

[smokin6]

Anyone ever heard of a 1849 with "Heartford" stamped on the top of the barrel? Who made them? Any ideas?

You don't mean "Hartford" do you?  If so, here's a good explanation:

This appeared to have dgw on the barrel so I think it was made for dixie gun works by someone. just didn't wanna buy it if I couldn't get parts if needed

Dixie Gun Works imported a 49 Hartford made by Palmetto...Brescia, Italy.
"Track of the Wolf"  & Dixie may still carry some parts  
Tho' VTI may be your best bet.

Thanks for the answers! The shop wants $115.00 for it. May pick it up to play with this winter. The action seemed a lil bit rough, If I can't get it up & running I will part it out or sell it off whole. Hope it's worth it.
