Very interesting convertible.

Many 45 ACP cylinders of 1917s have been modified similarly for the longer Colt cartridge over the years just by reaming the chambers with rounded shoulders of precise placement for the Colt case to stick out far enough for proper headspace. The modified extractor star is icing on the cake.
