A Mystery Craftsman Among Us!

If you go to the new Member Gallery pages from the homepage of this site:

http://www.lugerforum.com

-- you will find a new photo album that illustrates an American Eagle Luger and an Ideal Stock. What is different about this Luger/stock combination is that the stock is BRAND NEW. Here is a sample from that album just to whet your appetite...

It was painstakingly created by the hands of a master craftsman who is a member of this forum. He created it because he decided he would never be able to own the genuine article to accompany his American Eagle (which he also refinished himself)... The creation of this masterpiece has taken several months...

I have been privileged to follow the creation of this completely unique Luger accessory from the outset... The owner of a genuine Ideal Stock generously permitted this craftsman to possess his prized piece during the recreation effort... He too shall remain nameless, at least for the present.

The Creator of this new Ideal Stock and I thought it would be interesting if the membership tried to guess who he is. I will reveal a new hint every couple of days until his identity is made public...

The membership is invited to present their guesses in this thread...

Good Luck to all! [img]smile.gif[/img]

P.S. NO, the stock is not for sale! [img]frown.gif[/img]
