That "Outdoorsman's Haven" is the same Belding & Mull, but maybe in name only, and I'm not so sure they even obtained the name directly, or just picked it up. The Manufacturing Co, Belding & Mull went out of business a long time ago.
I snuck down while the nurse wasn't watching (my wife) and took these pictures.
Belding & Mull were known for very high tolerance work. Here's a rear sight on a G&H Springfield action. Note the stamping and how close it is to the stamping on the rifled sleeve.
