The gun that Terry Boose and I saw at the MD show was the gun pictured on this site a few days ago. I don't think there is much of a chance that your gun is one of Mr. Eckmeyer's creations. I'm not sure that Willie ever met Franz Marktl. Franz came to this country about the time that Willie was slowing down his Parker butchering. He had another engraver, but I don't remember his name. Maybe Daryl will remember. Franz is quite a guy, engraved a belt buckle for me while recovering from an upper respiratory ailment in a local hospital. Charged me ten bucks for the job. I still have it.
