Allan, there may be some information in the Hogan files that would indicate that Harvey Donaldson actually built these guns. Austin apparently owned Harvey's L.C. Smith shotgun, maybe bought the rifles at the same time.

I will look through the things I received from Austin over the last several months. Most of it is Parker Pages related CDs and paper files but I noticed that some of it is not Parker related. Unfortunately I can't jump right into it as I have a couple of deadlines to meet in the next several days.

Allan,
Austin and Harvey Donaldson were indeed friends. Austin once told me that, as a teenager, he spent a lot of time with Harvey. Austin also told me that he had one of Harvey's guns.------Daryl |

That was probably the L.C. Smith that Austin had written about. I believe he also mentioned it in a Precision Shooting article in my collection. Don't know about those rifles, though.
