Regarding Evaluator's Ltd., in the early 1950's Mrs. Florence Van Orden, Gen. Van Orden's wife, suggested the name "Highway Patrolman" to S&W's Carl Hellstrom for the gun that evolved into the Model 28. She also worked at their store in Quantico, Va. As I recall, she was related to Carl Hellstrom or someone else in S&W management.
