I bought a Triplelock!

I'm still assessing the gun and it's markings.

It looks like there is a bit of a chamfer on the cylinder holes that lets a .45 colt cartridge recess a bit. Does it look like the recoil shield was shaved?

That's how S&W loaded their target .32s and .38s in their top break revolvers in the late 1980's. They were very accurate.

I have a cylinder bored improperly like that and it worked great in my TL 455, that's how I know.[/QUOTE]

1880's maybe ?

Yes, in that time period.
