Hello all. It’s been many years since I was on these forums but a recent email from an old friend brought me back around. I see that Hugh Clark is no longer with us. He was one of a kind and I know he’s sorely missed.

I bought this beautiful Baby Luger from him and it’s the pride of my humble collection. I took these amateur shots today and I post them here for your enjoyment. Thank you, Hugh.

Hugh put his initials on the toggle!!! That's uber cool!!!

A little bit of Hugh lives on!!!

Well, that is most interesting. Thanks for sharing. It appears to use a shorter mag. Do you have a photo of the mag?

Here you go. You can see the weld marks from having it cut down. It fits nicely. It looks to have been some very delicate work.

Hugh was one of those guys who could do anything

He was definitely one of the guys who’s opinion I valued most highly. Along with you and a couple of other guys.

I hate to see it go, but this Hugh Clark Baby Luger will sell tonight on Gunbroker. Sad day for me.

I saw it !!
Good luck - it's certainly unique.

Thanks. Breaks my heart to sell it but the new business demands to be fed, again. Ugh.
