I'm not Jim but I'll give it a shot and he can fix my errors. You may get a hammer that "drops in" but chances are some fitting will be necessary. The .455 HE is made on the 2nd Model N frame...like the Model 1917 and .44 Special HE. Even hammers from the Model 1926 should work. So, I would acquire one and have a gunsmith or weld shop build up and widen the tang after I installed it and made sure it fits and works acceptably. You might even save some money by shaping the tang and cutting the serrations yourself. You can look about for a Micro or King cockeyed hammer but be prepared to shell out some $$.
