Inglis HP - lunch box special

[Horilka]

I missed the hole on the front strap. Agreed it isn't supposed to be there (how on earth can you tell its threaded? Eagle eyes?). This pic is an unfinished "lunch box" gun, is it possible that this hole is used for a factory jig point that is later filled in? Is it possible that this particular gun (or just frame) was used in the factory for a different purpose other than a finished firearm, and that's how it was easily removed from the factory? (a display, machinists practicum test? who knows.)

Of course I can tell, it's my handgun I also have been thinking about some technological operations like some tests or maybe training, but knowing nothing about manufacturing I can only guess.

The hole is the attachment point for bolting the decal on......................Just kidding, it just looks like some "mystery hole" that the purpose is lost to history.

Derp...I swear I'm loosing it lately. Time for a vacation, or a full day range session. Its purpose (and it had a purpose) is lost to history unless there is someone still alive who recalls why it was done. That's not Bubba's handy work.
