Was (How do you attach a lanyard ring).
Does anyone have a schematic for the S&W 1917?
Just received this from a fellow board member (Thanks!) and can't figure it out.
I vaguely recall seeing a schematic for the 1917 revolvers, and I thought that the lanyard ring disassembled in some form, but I don't want to wreck mine trying to figure it out.
Any suggestions?

Are you putting it on a real S&W or a repro? If it's going on a real gun, I'd take it to a good gunsmith. He should be able to do it quickly and easily for you. In a nutshell, you remove the grips and thread the screw through the bottom of the grip frame, securing it on the inside of the frame. If the gun doesn't already have a spot for a lanyard, a hole will have to be drilled. Pretty easy work for a gunsmith, I'd say.

Here's one for the N-frame Model 29 for a starter.
I'll keep looking for the HE.

a 1917 lanyard ring is secured by a small pin driven into a hole that passes thru the frame under the grip near the grip locator pin. this pin captures the ring assembly via the groove machined around the top of the lanyard ring assembly.the lanyard ring assy. is a swivel so it turns easily. you can't install lanyards on most guns without altering the serial numbers on the butt;because if they aren't original, you have to machine the hole for them into the butt. the assy's are the same for s&w and colt 1917's and i think the same for victory mdl's too. most high quality guns are this type. cheaper ones have screw in ones and aftermarket ones are found screwed in also. regards,hanson
