Here's another:

I believe forum members have, from time to time, posted availability of stands.

I made mine at home.

I have not done business with Donald Evans but have had experience Fort Sandflat (gunstands). I have about a dozen Fort Sandflat stands ranging from a couple of single stands for Lugers and 1911A1 that I use as photographic stands all the way to a custom made 15 Luger stand that use in displays. I also have ordered several of their standard 6 gun stands for Lugers and 1911A1s.

Initially they did great work. Was very pleased. However on my last order for a 6 gun Luger stand in Mahogany, they totally screwed up. Finish was rough. They did not use Mahogany. It was terrible. I complained. They responded by offering to repair or replace. I sent the stand back and received it a few weeks later with MARGINAL improvement. I gave up in disgust and have never ordered anything from them again. The stand is gathering dust in the back of a closet somewhere. Never used it. It is an embarassment to me and the Lugers it could have displayed.

Sorry to publish a negative review. I rarely, if ever, have anything bad to say about people with whom I have done business. But over the last few years something really bad has happened there and their work is a shadow of the splendid work they delivered in the past. I can't recommend them.
