Bob Smith is a gunsmith of repute from Dayton, Ohio. He assisted Robert Patterson with his collection over the years. Robert Patterson was the President of National Cash Register who assisted the U.S. Navy in the deciphering of the four reel Enigma machine. Bob Smith was a talented engineer who was also involved, but I don't know how much. His A-1 was quite the gun, and was offered for sale when I had even less money than I have now. I assume it is in the wind.
