So late 60s is the era of ex-Beck employees you want to find. Start as close to the top of the tree as possible perhaps as depending on how large or spread out the company was those lower down may not have known what was being done in other departments?

Excellent photos. Not much of a case is it?

A bit of deformation at the front top of the cover from recoil "slamming"? A half-round reinforcement brazed on there would have been a good idea.
