Come on, Craig. He's the Bob Smith that owned an A-1 Special. Displayed and maybe sold at OGCA maybe 20 years ago. He had passed away by that time.

I was hoping we could find Fred Johnson’s Mossberg 500. Sold at Walmart in 1983.

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.

BTW, I think we located Dr. Munshaw's A1S. Not too far away from me.
