Walter does that perhaps include an inventory of goods purchased or is that just the agreement to allow them to continue making and using the Lefever name in guns only? That would put much of this debate to rest by itself. If parts on hand was less than enough to make a few hundred guns then it was not so much a parts cleanup as an attempt to keep making the Lefevers from scratch. And Ithaca could certainly make any Lefever from scratch if desired. Perhaps demand was not what was expected or the profit in making the Lefever was just to small to justify the space, labor pool and investment for a decreasing product line. Any minutes from the meeting deciding to stop Lefever production could give clues to when and why they were dropped from the product line.
