I have a buttplate and trigger guard from Reeves marked #8.  Does anyone know what these are a copy of?

Reeves' list shows #8 as "W. Haga, John Derr (Berks County)"

Thanks Ron.
Do you happen to have a copy of his list of hardware ?

If he doesn't, Smallpatch, I have one I can scan and email to you.

I wonder if it would be possible to post it here?

I have no problem posting it here BUT Reaves never wanted his list posted on the public internet, not sure why but that is the reason we never did it. If someone will obtain permission from his daughter I will be glad to post it. I know she was selling some of his brass castings but I am not sure if she still is or not.

I received a text from Jen Goehring yesterday with a link to Reaves' obit, and she mentioned that she'd have castings at Dixon's.
