I did notice the lug issue, but other than that it is in excellent shape. The barrel is perfect, no pitting, no rust and with sharp rifling. About the lug, or lack thereof, not sure why it would be removed, but it seems to have been a good while ago, given that otherwise the wear is pretty consistent around the grip frame. I've seen a few others this way as well. Does anyone know why they would have been modified like this? I can't see it affecting a person's grip. Would it have been done during wartime for some obscure reason?
