    Jim,
    That's almost word for word what the Colt parts guy told me at the gun show early Saturday morning.

    He said finding a original early round pin / Half moon would be like hitting the lottery. Added that even the reproductions may not be being made any more.
    His fix would be taking the square post and knocking the corners down while twisting in emery cloth.
