I am wondering where I could find a butt plate for a Hudson Valley fowler.

Don't laugh when I tell you this, the Rifle Shoppe advertises 4 different Hudson Valley butt plates.  Give them a call, you might luck out.  I have had pretty good service with them this past year. I have received a couple orders from them.

Reeves Goehring had several styles. His kinfolk are still selling his castings. For some early ones, banging one out of sheet brass can be the best option.
