It would be interesting to know but at the end of the day does it really matter now?
Sure, if you are a curious person with interest in Savage Arms history and its many tentacles. Figuring out puzzles like this is "the buzz".
Without it, West, Carr, Stern, Brower, Murray, Royal & Reynoldson Savage books would not exist. Or many of the interesting posts on this forum. This thread included.
Tedious research is not for everyone. Some do it, some read it, hopefully all enjoy it.
