Egads! Look at the callouses on those fingers! What's THAT about?

Thanks! You're making a believer out of me! Sure looks like it could be "the ring" !!!!!!!! Now let's get the actual date the picture was snapped!

I dunno, looks too flat in the blown up photo, would expect a rise and a widening if consistent with the rendering of the ring. My guess is that he was wearing a simple uniform pinky ring. But the fact that another photo has not been found of him wearing one is interesting, and this one does look a bit snug on his finger.
