I am NOT  knowledgeable of original conversions, but sure
looks to me like the cylinder has been hit by a rimfire
hammer.

I also hope someone chimes in with the right information.
Were is my friend Halfway creek Charlie?
I bet he would have a good idea.

Sorry
The real job (showing horses) got in the way for a few days...........

The cylinder was a 45/46 rim fire.
This was an original chambering by Remington in their early conversions and they made brand new 5 shot cylinders like this one!
