N.J. ENGLBRECHT?

Has anybody ever heard of this builder? I have a .40cal pistol barrel with this name stamped in it on the top flat with  bore 0.405 and 1968 stamped underneath.

There was a Norman J. Englebrecht that used to shoot with the Fort Dearborn club in Illinois.  I know he made at least a few rifles--more as a hobby than anything and could be the maker of your pistol.  Norm lived in Palatine, Il. with his wife Elizabeth.  It might be possible to look him up on the internet and give him a call to verify.  I believe he would be in his mid 70's by now. 

Good luck!

I'd like to see more on the guns that Mr. Englbrecht  built.

Please limit your replies to the original topic question.  If your reply has nothing to do with N.J. ENGLBRECHT, then don't post it.  Thanks.
