Looking through my Lugers at Random book and came across this on page 79, has it even been determined whose Initials this presentation piece was made for, I know this book is dated and thought maybe new information has been acquired .

Ralph Shattuck always said it was Hiram Maxim - he told me he picked it up as one of his first large purchases
Besides the story, there is no documentation that I know of that states who this presentation was made for.... here it is for sale at rock island http://www.rockislandauction.com/vie...id/65/lid/1626 . .
