Will b looking forward to that donate button. You should be getting something for your work. I would be interested to know the title of that book. I work for a large auto maker in Prototype Operations.
It's called "Scale Model Firearms" (softcover)...here's one link with the description (my grandfather is "R.E. Hutchens" (they spelled it wrong ):

About half the book is devoted to his guns...the other half to another gun maker. Grandpa's friend, Joe Kramer, is the one who commissioned the book to be made and bought most of the guns that my grandpa made.
Here's one another link with a picture of the book on the bottom right of the page: Wayne Driskill Miniature Firearms - Books on Miniatures
We used to watch him make the guns in his garage with all of his crazy precision machinery (lots of metal shavings all of the floor, lol).
Thanks for asking about this...
