Old memories....

Thors pictures sure bring back a flood of great memories! And they set me to thinking? I was wondering? A long time ago... 20 to 25 years ago.. John V Martz wanted me to make something both unique and special for Neola's baby Luger, and I believe it was to be a birthday present as well? maybe, maybe not, as it turns out she either never saw it, or didn't receive it for that purpose?..
What I made, was a wooden hard shell Baby Luger holster out of Rock maple, with a blue ultra suede lining... When finished, you could not tell it from original at ten feet away.. it has a light russet color and fit the/Neolas, baby Luger perfectly as I had it in shop to make it so...
All I am wondering, has anyone here seen, or now own the above mentioned unit?... Let me know, or a picture would be nice for memories... As most who know me well, already know, I seldom, if ever, document any of my efforts.. and sign even less.. I try not to dwell in the past, as new challenges seem to be where the excitement is anyway! So this request is an exception.. but at least a very nice one if it didn't end up in the fireplace somewhere?... Best to all, til...lat'r.....GT...
