 IGCo's 1914 purchase of Union Firearms

I am in the final stages of transferring all of my IGCo's records to the Buffalo Bill Center. This batch contains the file of the Union Firearms company. It has a few period catalogs, original notarized purchase agreements for the 1914 transaction. The original Charles Wilson patent and a listing of all the finished guns (131) works in progress, etc. Mention is made of a model 60 repeater. The patent shows the interworks. Claude Smith was the Ithaca buyer. Claude was the IGCo. treasurer at the time. I only recorded one Union gun sale when I had the shipping records. I am assuming Ithaca lumped the guns to dealers, hardware stores and the like.
All soon to be on its way to Cody and will be available for study should anyone care to venture there.
ps. The purchase price was $3000 with $500 down and remainder due upon delivery.
All this activity 23 years before Ithaca announced the Model 37 repeater.
