Well Don, I'm not sure what I had. I can't find a picture, of any model 25 older than a 25-2. Looking around the closest model that looks like what I had is the model 1950. It didn't have a lanyard ring on it, but it came with an after factory, flat matte black finish (like RVA) and Pachmayr presentation grips. The more I inquire the more confused I get! I've only had three guns that I just don't recall what I did with, or who I traded to. A bull barrel S&W mod 10, a Winchester 94 AE, and this pistol, whatever the model was. I keep telling myself that isn't too bad considering the trading I've done, but some days..............
