"I finally just opened the 1940 SB and confirmed Colt and S&W did indeed offer revolvers chambered in .455. Colt called it ".455 Eley" while S&W referenced it as both '.455 Colt and .455 Eley.'"

Now the question is, has a 2nd Model .455 been lettered to the late '30s-1940? S&W listed the 2nd Model .44 Hand Ejector as being available in 4", yet no 2nd Models have lettered as shipping with a 4" barrel
