What a great inheritance!
When you posted that the frame serial # matching the cyl # is stamped on the frame under the grip, do you mean it's on the butt of the grip frame?
I believe the cyl has been rechambered and partially recessed for the thicker case rim of the 45 Auto Rim to fit the narrower 357 headspace (since the serial # hasn't been shaved off).
If so the 45 ACP will also chamber and shoot with to narrower 357 headspace, because the case mouth headspaces on the shoulder in the chamber, and cases unloaded by hand.
Unless the chambers accept 45 Colt cartridges.
