19th Century Monster Hunters?
Did my brain just make it up, or was there a Monster Hunters article in Pyramid for using Monster Hunters in 19th century settings (Victorian/Old West/Steampunk/etc.)?
I've been able to find Monster Hunters in the Pulp Era (#3/31) and Action in the Old West Era (#3/74).

Looking through the index, that's as much as I've seen. I do know people on the forums have talked about running monster hunters for old west, for renaissance, and for the middle ages. Not sure if it was pyramid articles.

Re: 19th Century Monster Hunters?
The third edition Deadlands supplement provides an excellent starting point.

Icelander ran a campaign of Victorian Monster Hunters and made some posts about it here.

There is also GURPS Adventure Guns on late-19th-century firearms.

Re: 19th Century Monster Hunters?
Also, Classic GURPS Horror has a Victorian Age section. That could contribute to people misremembering.

I'm currently sitting on an 1875 monster hunters location concept I may or may not ever hear back on.

I believe the Monster Hunters Loadouts book has a section for TL6 equipment.

Re: 19th Century Monster Hunters?
Weird timing. I'm just starting up a 1930s MH game set in NY, Gotham Noir. Players are going to be P.I.s, Cops, Mad Scientists, Priests (and Priestesses... go Voodoo), &c.
