I love being the instrument of controversy, because
it brings out such great thinking and opinions that we all can learn from.
Thanks guys, you all confirmed my beliefs that this is either a fake or a very rare item. I am glad I am not the only one to have never seen a D-ring on the pull strap.
If I had to guess, I would say that the condition is just too good to be original. I think it is a reproduction with a D-ring added.
Just my $0.02
