Hey how y'all doing?
A friend of mine brought his fathers shotgun by to show me,an old percussion muzzle loader,damascus barrels a wall hanger only. I looked it over for markings, and the only one found was on the left lock BLUEGRASS.Being from the Louisville Kentucky area I'm familiar with Belknap Hardware, now defunct for many years but was a major provider for hunting equipment in the south.
My friend is around 80 yrs old and that said, I'm wondering if any one has info that Belknap was selling their BLUEGRASS brand that far back.
His father was a native of North Carolina, in the Bryson City area, and probably used this shotgun to hunt the Great Smoky Mountian area before the park was born.
Would sure like to have some information to pass on to him, as I have been an avid listener to many of his storys of the life in that reigon .
Any replys will be greatly appreciated!
