Thanks, Gene. So patent wise Arthur had nothing to do with the pistols, but he was managing director while they were being developed. Probably safe to say he had significant input, he just shouldn't get credit for the design.


That November 25, 1904 patent filing for the magazine improvement likely narrows it down. Might have been a lot of problems by then, but it's probable that his change to contract employee happened at the very end of 1904 or early January 1905.
