Here's what the gpg data looks like when using someone's public key to encrypt a file... now we know who to go hit over the head with a hammer ;)

tom@ubuntu:~$ gpg -v --list-packets file.gpg

   :pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 16, keyid 63E6E0BBB9FEE3A5

	data: [2045 bits]

	data: [2047 bits]

   gpg: public key is B9FEE3A5

   gpg: using subkey B9FEE3A5 instead of primary key 7A997B0A


With option --throw-keyids, you'd have to try your hammer on several heads until one fits.
