I've got a Government Super .38 (which I've had for four or five years) which fell victim to a fit of inspiration a couple of years ago. I decided to modify it so as to replicate a pre-War model. I managed to find all period correct Colt parts (including the hammer, thumb safety, mainspring housing, slide stop, and a milled trigger) and had the barrel blued (other than the hood). In order to get a MSH with the correct Colt checkering, I had to get one with a lanyard loop. I did read somewhere, though, that Colt did make some Super .38s with lanyard loops as special orders from some law enforcement agencies as well as some Latin American governments. The problem now is that I don't want to shoot it and get it dirty!
(if I can ever get my daughter to take some pictures of it I'll try to post them.)
