This old 1917 Commercial has been bumper chromed over rust pitting, PLUS bored for 45 Colt and had a slightly longer hammer nose installed.

Mechanically solid with a shiny bore and sharp rifling, and it shoots both 45 Colt and 45 ACP just fine.
It really hasn't been over buffed much, except the side plate seam. It could be stripped (that's cheap), pits filled with brazing, leveled and nickeled properly.
