All you have to do now is check the threads in that hole so you can purchase the correct grease zerk for that application.

Do you know if the hole is threaded? If so, maybe some sort of attachment was put on the gun. Just say no!
OP
Not threaded. Looks like someone drilled about 2/3 of the way thru with a 1/2 drill bit. The chatter marks were telling. The shame of it is that this is on a nickel 357 magnum with a 3-1/2" barrel. Target grips cover the hole. Now if I thought I could find a nickel side plate for a mid 1950s 357......

So the hole is not all the way thru the sideplate??
I was going to suggest perhaps one of the various aftermarket revolver safeties, but if the hole is not completely thru I would think not.

Didn't you know? That's how you fix loose grips…

Okd-school cartels only. Modern cartels insist on Glocks with full-auto sears.

Get a set of Hogues with the big ear are on the right side and cover it.
To add a badge medallion, engraved plate, or inventory number tag to the side? Especially considering what type of gun it is. Could letter as an LE gun. Could have been someone's retirement gun and had an engraved plate attached with his name on it?

"A tracheostomy, also known as a tracheotomy, is a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the neck into the trachea (windpipe) to help a person breathe. A tube, called a tracheostomy tube or trach tube, is then inserted through the opening to provide an airway and to remove secretions from the lungs."
There is my guess - she (that nickel 357) wasn't breathing, was owned by a 3rd year medical student, and he did the only thing he knew to do - the S&W tracheotomy. It probably saved that gun's life! I would proudly display that scar as a badge of honor!
On a serious note, you've shown some photos of the "hole" in the gun, now let's see some photos of the "whole" of the gun with the grips on... Please.
