It is the same Flues that worked for Ithaca and deaigned the famous 4th stule hammerless gun that was produced for a long time.

He operated privately as a small maker/gunsmith in Buffalo. I cannot recall if it was before hos time at Ithaca or after.

Walt Snyder may be abke to lend more info on him. There is also a guy in Buffalo by the name of Bob Chambers that knows a lot of Flues and also owns a gun or two built by him.
