Chamber depth is from the rear of the cylinder to the step. There is no rim recess. .45 Colt, Schofield, and 1909 are all too long to fit this cylinder. There was a box with this gun. Stamped in ink was, I believe the number 13. The usual end label was the name ".45 Special". I have heard of other boxes labeled this way but have not personally seen them. S&W must have thought that this cartridge would become regular production.

If that's the situation, then it seems to be likely that the TLs used for the 1907 test were actually chambered specifically for the 1906 FA experimental round and for nothing else. Is there a caliber marking anywhere on the revolver?

There is no caliber marking on the gun. As the Colt, Schofield,and 1909 .45 cartridges all mike .476/.477 at the case mouth, they will not go in this chamber.
