Gents,

Im on vacation and dont have access to my research stuff, but i believe I was able to track the younger Giddings down to Tobin in Ontario. I think I talked it all through with Daryl at the time, so if he recalls what I found perhaps he'll jump in.

It wasnt the father, who was at Remington for years (along with a daughter, who was a checkerer there) but his son, who was also quite talented.

The father was a wood man, and his name also appears on a few Lefevers under the grip cap. But the son was an engraver, unless my facts are scrambled.

Sorry this is a disjointed comment...im on the beach. I'll see if I can post a clarification in a few days when Im home about what I found on Giddings and his progeny.

I dont want to MIS-inform, so hopefully others may have previously looked into the Giddings family can jump in...perhaps Researcher?
