Mark,

Thank you for the compliment. That .38 SA was one of the first S&Ws that I ever bought. It came out of a Sparks, Nevada gun shop. Someone attempted to remove the lanyard ring and didn't knock the retaining pin out of the frame resulting in the ring/stud breaking off in the frame.

Fast forward about 20 years; I was in an obscure shop in Phoenix when the owner ask what I might be trying to find. After a list of scarce guns and rare things, I mentioned the lanyard ring. I was half-joking. Guess who had one? Mike
