The date for which Arthur W. first signed and re-made for Arthur J. to sign the agreement with Stevens is dated Sept. 9, 1905. No telling how much negotiation preceded their signing or how long before that it took him to design the rifle. JTC
Hmm. So if Arthur was involved with the 1903 and 1904 22's, and involved with the pistols which were patented in 1905(?), sounds like the problems probably arose in late 1904 - or culminated in 1904.
Weren't the Perris Specials in summer or fall of 1904? Not saying there is any connection, just trying to think of significant happenings around that time. 1905 was the intro of the 1899H, takedown didn't show up until 1906.
