Thats why I referenced the "old' hatfields..some of those were stocked in nice maple..The ones under discussion here, no...The deal was, The "new Hatfield" same as the Valier, was supposed NOT to be marketed in the US. But the guy behind the deal, Neal Oldredge, ex Remmy VP, maybe sneaked some in and undercut the Valier price..Maybe thats part of what caused the falling out and hence the "Valier" disappearing. Too bad, they were on the right track...
