Does anyone recognize this steering wheel?

I bought this 14 inch gray leather wrapped aftermarket steering wheel for my truck on Ebay some time ago. It was listed as a Grant but when I received it I found no markings anywhere except the picture of a trumpet on the horn button so I don't think it's a Grant. It's a nice looking wheel but I have no idea what kind or model of wheel it is. Does anyone here recognize the wheel? I wrote the seller for more information but he didn't have anything additional to add...

I don't think it's Grant, because their hubs are smaller diameter than that one. I looked at the LeCarra website and found some similar, but not quite a cigar, so to speak. LeCarra's I've seen had their name engraved in the front, too. I know I've seen that before, but just can't place it. There's no id marks under the horn button or anywhere?

Did you ask this a long time ago when you bought it? Cause it does look familiar but I have no idea why...

I checked everywhere for a part number or name. There's nothing on it...

Are you just trying to find an adapter for it? Most aftermarket are pretty much standardized AFAIK.

Nope, found an adapter. I just want to know the origin of the steering wheel?

If I'm not mistaken, that is the Xiun Li Quan "Sunny Bird" series wheel, with the Happy Ending option...

Yeah, I searched Ebay and looked at about a zillion (well, thousands anyway) steering wheels and nothing matched. Ebay currently has nearly 51,000 steering wheels for sale...wonder how long it would take to look at all of them.

Some of the banjo steering wheels by Flaming River and others look close but not quite...

Here's my LeCarra that's the look-a-like to yours, it's ptno 44401 and as you can see the shape is slightly different.
But Merc, it isn't engraved w/the LeCarra name/ptno or anything else either.
I think when I took it out of the box it had a sticky paper label w/the ptno on it.

That's the closest thing I've seen...
