When I read these posts of the passing of a talented Luger repair/restoration/customization gunsmith I have to wonder if the talent pool is shrinking to near the point of extinction. Is new talent appearing to replace the dear "artisans " lost?

I think there are significant numbers of those with the particular, necessary skills who are coming along. But focus on Lugers may be missing. Odds are that a few will be bitten by the Luger bug.
