I totally forgot about that.... http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthread.php?t=29453

Golly, Olle! I read that thread about your P.38 lanyard ring quest and your work. There are some impressive machinists and fabricators on this forum. Nice job!

As for me, I'm a hospital executive. I can admire that work, but I have no experience or skills in that department. I wear a suit with a bowtie and sit behind a desk at work. Sure I can clean a gun better than OR sterilizers can clean surgery equipment, but make a lanyard ring for a Tokarev? No dice.

What are my chances that that mentioned $4.00 P.38 lanyard ring at Numrich will fit my Tokarev? Because that may be my only chance. LOL

Perhaps I should heed John's advice and be happy that the ring is gone.

BTW, thanks to all for your informative comments.
