I've sold a couple nice old Ballards over the last couple years and had my hands on several of the ones that were made by Steve Garbes company in recent years . I always liked the Ballards in the full regalia Schiyen schuetzen style and the same can certainly be said for the Stevens 44 1/2 guns in the Pope schuetzen style ! There's a company in Dingnans Ferry PA that's makes a quality reproduction of the Stevens 44 1/2 and the folks in Cody Wyoming last time I saw one made a very nice rendition of the Ballard . There's also a fellow in New York State named Romano that makes a very nice rendition of a Maynard single shot .
