I am lucky enough to have three Hartleys, a maple Winchester 63, a maple flintlock long rifle, and a walnut Winchester 61. The two Winchesters were made for me in 1967, the FL was picked up at auction. HH charged $75 each for the work on the two Winchesters. The walnut came from Shotgun News where sets of stock blanks for the Iver Johnson Skeeter were being sold off for $5 each. I bought a few sets but only used the one, peddled off the others. Also at one time I owned a factory engraved Remington 81, stocked in maple by HH, which I later sold to the gent who wrote the little book about 8s and 81s. Then I think in the late 1970s I went back to HH for more stockwork but he said his eyes were giving trouble and he was not accepting orders. IMO his two piece stocks are splendid but I never liked his bolt actions as much.
