My Baby got home today!

All I can say is that to hold this gun in your hand is the only true way to appreciate it!

Hugh and Ted made a work of art when they made this gun what it is. If I may suggest to anyone thinking of having this done to one of their Lugers some advice. Send a good set of grips I used Sarco brand, but am going to have Hugh cut me some NillÃ¢??s, as they are the best. Secondly choose a worthy candidate! Not a pristine gun, but one worthy of the work you are having done. My gun was almost perfect as it had no pitting and no finish, but had never had a hack job blue either. As time goes by I can tell that this gun will be the centerpiece of my collection. <img border="0" alt="[king]" title="" src="graemlins/r.gif" />

Here is a clear picture of what we used!

Thanks to Sid Gariss for his drafting skills and to Hugh for his patience with the design. I like it! It will also be on my Baby Luger!

Very nice. Thanks for posting the photo of the HC logo. I have been waiting to see how that would come out on the final product. It looks good.
Hugh thanks for allowing me to be a small part of this project.
Sid.
