Hubert was a Regular Member of the American Custom Gunmaker's Guild, but passed away, 10 or 15 years ago, as I remember.

I think his work was pictured in Gun Digests in the 60's and 70's.

IIRC he also sold (and therefore presumably imported) a neat hinged trap-door buttplate for a recoil pad. Wish I had one today.

Gentlemen,

Thanks for the replies. RHD45- I did find 6 entries in the Custom Gun section of GDs-'73 thru '90-evidently Amber liked his work.
If anyone has any additional bio stuff I'd appreciate a heads-up.

Good shooting.

From an older American Custom Gunmakers Guild Directory. Hubert was a great guy and beyond competent as a gun craftsman.

Steven,
Thank you very much for the information on Mr. Hecht. I also enjoyed seeing your S&W display in the new Journal.

Good shooting.
