This is an impressive piece of research, especially from an author who lives not in the US but in Germany. While so many facts about F.A. Jones private and family life are unknown, this article shows what talent and persistance can bring, connecting Jones to the names printed on the Jones movements.
The theory about leaving the initials "D.H" and printing just "Craig" and not "D.H. Craig" on later movements ( after the failure of D.H. Craig) seems very plausible but what would be the reason to print "Greenleaf Romney" on the early "B" patterns and later "Romney" only?

WOW! What great research on D. H. Craig! Very interesting article, especially for me, because i am an enthusiast of early Jones movements. I will make a separate article about the "D.H.Craig" and "Craig" movements i collected over the time. WELL DONE!

And to honor D.H. Craig, IWC made this limited edtion.
