I rescued an old 4-screw pre Model 10 earlier this week. It has been sitting in a pawn-shop display for 6 months or so, and I finally felt so sorry for it that I took it home. I have it details stripped now, getting what looks like gunked-up burnt motor oil out of the innards.
The gun has a hole through the bottom of the grip frame. I have seen pictures of this before (I think), but I have never seen it on one of my guns. Can someone tell me what the functional purpose of this might be? Just curious. I am thinking about drilling a matching hole in an old set of k-frame magnas I have and running a rawhide or para-cord loop through it to attach to a lanyard.
