Hugh Clarks Baby Luger, restored by Bill Adair
 
I got this from a forum member earlier this year. It's a Baby Luger conversion done by another forum member, the infamous Hugh Clark! I didn't like the shiny, high polished steel of this Lugers "in the white" finish. After some serious begging, Bill Adair, a fine craftsman in his own right, finally agreed to take this on and it's now done, just a couple of weeks after sending it off.

Bill did a great job on it, I think! These are the preliminary pictures Bill took to satisfy my curiosity. I can't wait to get it back and take some more pics...

Thanks to both Bill and Hugh for making my humble collection that much brighter... :cheers:

Bill Adair's site says he is taking no new work for the 1/2 half of 2008 and especially not Luger work...he wants to cut his back-log and focus on othe arms more interesting to him personally...

No plated guns either...

Doug, I'm sorry for your loss.... (not really) :D

You already know how long I've waited to have this done. I was so happy that Bill accepted this job you have no idea. He does awesome work and is very easy to work with. Very knowledgeable dude... :cool:
