Greetings,
My Name is John Hardin, I live in the State of Texas of the United States.
As a hobby I collect military rifles from other countries.
I purchased a Model 1888 Commission rifle #1629 that was imported from
Ecuador.
On the wood stock is a presentation plaque that reads:

EJERCITO ECUATORIANO
LA FUERZA TERRESTRE
AL SR. CRNL. TEC.
LUIS MEDINA GUEVARA
En recomocimiento a la Institucion
QUITO AGOSTO DE 1994

I thought it would be interesting to find this man. My only motive is to
learn more about my rifle's history.
I do not speak Spanish and do not have any other contact in Ecuador that
can help me. I have a friend who is helping me translate. Can anyone help me locate this person.
