Who used the "CGC" Cartouche on the 1st Revolver Contract?

[Mike Strietbeck]

I discussed this issue with Don Ware and he assured me that it was not a mistake. The following qauote from Don convinced me.
"This cartouche has been identified as C. G. Curtis. Curtis was the first of many inspectors assigned to Remington's two revolver facilitates during the Civil War. I was fortunate to locate a copy of a letter from Curtis sent to W.A. Thornton on July 3, 1862, in which he identifies himself as a Principal Sub-Inspector."

I'm convinced,

Tom,

Either scenario you describe would be pure speculation on may part and I cant go there. Personality quirk on my part requires documentation or major evidence to agree.

I'm not sure about being able to get away from work to go to Johns auction, but if so, I'll look for you.

Best regards,

Mike
