Gunsmithing Missing a 1911 pin- Got one to spare?

[1911fan]

Somehow, in the process of upgrading a 1911, I've lost one of the two main pins that go through the frame and hold the grip safety in. Looking online, it's going to cost me more for shipping than the pin.
Got one you want to sell me?

The grip safety on a 1911 is held in by the thumb safety. If you're missing that, it's a fit part, not something you can just buy and replace.

The two other pins hold the hammer and sear.

Dammit- that's what I get for being in a hurry and posting. I'll go figure out which pin I don't have and try again....
