Offfhand,
Regarding lever type quick release history, the late Leonard Brownell was responsible for the original design. Kimber resurrected the idea and began offering them until their financial problems put them out. I had heard that there was some connection between Dave Talley and Kimber up to that point (not sure on the truth of that). After Kimber quit making them Warne began offering similar function but not the elegance of the originals. I think this is where Dave Talley came in and began to compete with Warne for the same market, Talleys being of course much nicer.
