You have a fascinating one-of-a-kind revolver.
Actually the frame lug does not have to be modified to add an extra 45 Colt cyl. It's done by turning a narrow cut around the perimeter of the Colt cyl rear face which allows it to be used with the existing 45 ACP frame lug.
Your custom extractor for the 45 Colt appears to be held together with the pre war style spanner nut as used on the 1917.
Have you lettered your extremely unique factory dual cartridge converted revolver? That would be interesting.
