Looking for info on Bafford Arms

This was a company out of Bristol, TN that either imported or manufactured a stainless steel Hi-Power for a very short period. I am trying to find out more information about their connection with the Hi-Power.

1) Were the manufactured or imported?

2) How many?

3) If imported, who did the original production?
