Bob
I never found any references to Hollenbeck and Dan LeFever connections during my Syracuse Arms research; and I don't recall that Jack Maedel did either. That said, I don't see how these two guys could have worked in the same town; and in the same trade, and not have crossed paths many times. I certainly want to believe that these guys did meet, and did discuss the gun trade; if under no other circumstances, meetings at trade shows and expositions.

Uncle Dan's son, Frank Lefever, came to Wheeling/Moundsville and and managed the factory of the Three-Barrel Gun Co. after the Hollenbeck Gun Co. went belly up and Frank Hollenbeck returned to New York.

That'd be bad news Bob, it seems about four out of five use a handle. That would mean there would be just a handful of real name collectors of no-name stuff!

Researcher, I have heard the Moore name in connection with Hollenbeck, but don't recall ever seeing a Moore marked gun.
We do see Hollenbeck at least doing piecework for L C Smith in the 1880s , and then working for Baker Gun and Forging in 1892
