Researcher:
Any way you could draw the name Remington into the mix?
Regarding the craftsmen in Birmingham, an increase in their weekly guinea total would draw them to another maker and that is one reason why many of the Birmingham guns are similar, that is in addition to the common sources of frames and the like.
Do you have a copy of "The Arms of Ethan Allen & Associates" and have you seen one? In the late 1950's and early 1960's there seems to have been some renewed intertest in older guns, their history and gun collecting as many texts were published mainly by Stackpole or Bonanza. The above author James E. Serven penned more than 1/2 a dozen. And there was a Harry H. Mann author of "The Early Breech-loading Carbines of the U.S." and I was curious if any of the Mann posters here claimed him.
Kind Regards,
