    He was an early inspector at Springfield - to my knowledge, no idea who he was. Brophy has him at Springfield from 1909-1914, but I'm not sure how accurate that is - I'd guess he was inspecting rifles a couple of years earlier.

    I've got a rifle (230,477) with his inspection stamp, as well.
