This is the pre-war N frame I purchased off gunbroker that had been incorrectly converted to 45 Colt. After sending to Alan for inspection the following work was done. Shorten barrel to 5", regulate front sight for 250gr. at 850fps, action/trigger job, master blue and CCH hammer and trigger. It retains all of the WWI British proof markings on both frame, barrel and cylinder. It wears Culina french walnut grips and Alan did a wonderful job, as usual. Greg

YOUR BASE GUN APPEARS TO BE A 2ND MODEL HAND EJECTOR NOT 3RD MODEL. THE LATTER HAS THE ENCLOSED EJECTOR ROD HOUSING. ALSO I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WERE ANY 3RD MODEL .455s.

I'm sure the trigger pull is a fine as the finish.

That is simply beautiful. Something about those older guns just makes them special.
Hate to show my ignorance here but, what's with the "SINGLE ACTION SERVICE" on the barrel? I'm confused.
