I have an extremely complete and original 64 E-type OTS #881280. It is missing the jack and handle. I am at wits end trying to identify exactly which one is correct for this car. Can anyone refer me to an accurate reference with pic or part number or ?

Thank you in advance, Curtis Wood.

OK, so the one without detachable ratchet handle, right?

Also would you have to paint to be correct? I was thinking about Black Zinc plating as paint and working threads don't usually last long.

If you have the occasion to actually use this jack, be very careful! Once, with this jack in the fully raised position, I started to lower it and turned the handle the wrong direction. The retainer popped off and the jack fell. Luckily, I wasn't under it.

With the exception of the Shelly jack in the early 1961 cars, this is the proper style jack for the 3.8 and into the early 4.2's. With yours being a 1964, this would be the proper version for your car.
