If you would like to see photos of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania gunsmith James Stapleton, his wife, his gunsmith sons, his house, and his gun shop, here’s a link to some terrific photos Stapleton descendant Denny Donharl provided for my website: https://korns.org/gunsmiths/William-B-Stapleton-662025/DD-photos-6202025/DD-photos.html (https://korns.org/gunsmiths/William-B-Stapleton-662025/DD-photos-6202025/DD-photos.html)

For those of you who don't know Denny, he is THE authority on Huntingdon County, Pa firearms and their makers. If you need information,  Denny is your "go-to" guy. Last September, he organized an outstanding, unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime display of over 100 Huntingdon County guns with his associates at the local museum! He typically ghosts this forum, so I'll add this picture of him and one of his display tables ...(and his wife Rose makes excellent pierogis)
