I think that in his letter Roy made a comon mistake on the .455 caliber. He says that it was chambered for the .455 MkII, but I have never seen a S&W hand ejector so chambered. All I have ever seen are chambered for the .455 MkI case which is longer. The MkI cartridge was still being issued up into WWI, and it would have made no sense to make guns that would not take all available Marks of ammo.
