Hopefully, the buyer won't shoot a bunch of .45 ACP +P rounds in this revolver.

The British started purchasing these revolvers before 1916. I have an unconverted .455 S&W that shipped in 1915 to Remington Arms, the British Army purchasing agent. It was carried by a British officer in the RGA (Royal Garrison Artillery) in France. I shoot a few hundred rounds per year through the gun and it works perfectly.
