Umm.. I have him as designing outdoor coats for Montgomery Wards and then for Drybak's. You sure about the purchasing firearms? It would be odd that a clothing designer was also in charge of purchasing firearms.

Like everyone, I only know what I read. And as I've said before, take all genealogy with a grain of salt 'cause there is usually more to the picture.
In Falcon's case I recently read a short bio of Falcon's that was included in his college alumni magazine. The red highlights above are directly from that magazine. No reason to not believe it.
And it seems reasonable the Montgomery Ward firearms purchaser would have access to suppliers such as Savage, thus the 1907 pistol w/mother of pearl grips that letters to Falcon while at Montgomery Ward Co.
I've seen some Falcon/patient sort of stuff too for Savage and Drybak, but, really haven't explored that angle at this point.
I'll keep-a-looking....
