Hugh Clark a member of this board recently fitted a pair of Nil Grips to my 1937 Luger S/42. Without having to send my Luger to him, he was able to produce a perfect fit, not close or maybe BUT pure perfect. He is man of his word and extremely reasonable with his charge. He is a master craftsman! Thanks to him and this board for providing the information to find him! Thanks to all the great people here!

I heard that a guy once asked Hugh to see a sample of his work. Hugh went in and came out with a 2X4. The guy said" That looks like a 2X4!" Hugh smiled and said "I know... It used to be round."

![]() ![]() And I'll add that Hugh doesn't just work on Luger grips. I recently sent him a pair of grips from my pre-Woodsman and they came back in record time looking great! Very nice guy and a great craftsman. |

Ed, I'm sure yours is probaly a more pristine speciman than mine. Mine was from the estate of a guy who carried it a lot and it reflects the use. It is very accurate, however. It has the conversion for hi-vel ammo (wish I had the original parts!) and is one of my sentimental favorites.
Enjoy. ![]() |

Contrary to what David & Ron would have you believe, I DO NOT keep my workers penned up when not laboring on grips!
![]() In fact they are treated very well as evidenced by this photo of the REAL shop foreman during last Christmas Holidays! ![]() ![]()

You know if you guys keep tooting Hugh's horn.....he might have to raise his prices.
I will say that he's the best, no only as a craftsman, but as a real stand-up guy! Jim
