Not bad to be 100 years old.

Hi Bill,

That's a gorgeous TL.

Appears to be a commercial model since I don't see a single Brit or Canadian stamping, unless I've missed something.

Is the serial # missing from the rear face of the cyl or the chamber mouths recessed leading to your belief it is a conversion to 45 Colt?
Because if neither of these are in evidence, it begs for a letter; could be a factory 45 Colt TL and quite rare.

It certainly has a lower front sight than the standard 455 which is higher than factory 44s and 45 Colts.
