Spectacular Luger Cover

John,
The frameable color prints with proceeds going to the Lugerforum sounds like an attractive idea, but it isn't something that should be pursued. I obtained David Kimble's permission to use his artwork on John Eckert's brochure. The use of the same illustration by OGCA for their newsletter is a bit of a stretch of that permission. Any additional use of Kimble's copyrighted illustration needs to again obtain his permission and he should rightfully receive some compensation from any proceeds of its sale. A one-time permission as a favor does not transfer into open ended commercial use.

If there is sufficient interest in copies of this artwork, I could approach David Kimble to see if he would be interested in participating.
