Keep looking and one might well come your way. I am always checking out pawn shops, gun shops and estate sales. One day I walked into a pawn shop and saw a old S&W marked as a 1917. But, it had an ejector shroud! Happy day for me, it was a decent 455 triple lock, wearing 1917 grips and missing the lanyard loop. It became mine for $725, found the correct era grips, installed a lanyard loop from a project 1917 and I have a triple lock. It had been reamed and counter sunk to 45 colt, done so it will still fire 455 rounds. Not all original, but then 45 colt is my favorite. revolver round.
