Thanks Bill,
I actually received my research form (not a factory letter) back this afternoon, I'm trying to put it up here so you guys can see it, it doesn't seem like this gun was special ordered by anyone as it passed through a few hands in it's first year.
The first date given is in 1928, then in 1930 it was invoiced and shipped to Billings Montana, and then possibly returned I guess, and then sent to Ohio, and then later invoiced again and delivered by John Boa at the Great American Handicap, all in 1930.
So it seems like this gun has been around, maybe not necessarily owned by anyone well known, the search continues
