Mike,
I rarely disagree with your analysis,"But" in this particular instance I'm going to have to...Sorry!!
As I noted to "iby" a short time ago...The Lanyard Ring was most definitely installed by one of the Japanese Armories after it's arrival in Japan!!
Also...The way the 5-Digit Ser. No. is relocated on the Butt is also identical to all of the Japanese-Shipped NM#3s I've ever owned or encountered over the years...Not typical of those shipped to Argentina...Again sorry, but I know these Japanese -Shipped Revolvers pretty well!!
