Amarillo Mike, you're the one who first mentioned the John Olin connection. The Cody letter doesn't mention either Spencer or John Olin. Some time back, in some other world, I think the case was pictured with Spencer Olin's name on it. However, there is no reason to think that the gun was made for him when the Cody letter specifically says the gun was made for Marshall Field. How John Olin's name got into the mix is beyond my comprehension. What the heck is a "raised water table" anyhow?
