Thank you!!! I wish I had the original strap too though. But I think it didn't come with it or the owner lost it!! How do u lose a strap???lol

It doesn't appear to have double rings so perhaps it didn't have one (mine hasn't). At one point you could order Ks with or without, I thought perhaps by '97 they were all with, but perhaps not.
 
She is vintage but absolutely perfect: my 1980 Ardennes Marron Fonce (I thought it was Ebene for a while, then Havane, but Paris just definitively declared this Marron Fonce). She's just been freshly spa-ed and had her hardware replaced to butterfly clasps, so that I can wear her shoulder style! As you can see, she's held up great for all her years, and spa has made her nearly new again!

This is beautiful! Were you able to convert to double D rings without replacing the handle? Somehow I was under the impression H would only make that change if the handle had to be replaced.
