Richard conversion?, Transitional?, Richard mason open top?

As always, another wonderful illustrated dissertation from Driftwood Johnson, this time on the early Colt conversions. Thanks Driftwood, I learned a lot here.

I have an American Frontier Firearms Richards 1851 Navy .38 conversion made by Dave Anderson in the 1990s, but there is one thing wrong with it, it has no ejector and retains the cap and ball loading lever similar to the "Man with No Name" versions.
 
The link to this thread is now saved in the "Firearms Identification Sites" folder of my favorites. Thanks!

Hold on to your wallets everyone, it looks like Photobucket has found a new way of tapping into them by charging you to post your own photos on third party sites!

I am wanting to obtain one of the Cimarron Richards-Mason conversions in .44 Colt, but was told they have discontinuued the 8" version, and now offer only the 5-1/2" barrel. I'm kind of a stickler for originality, so does anyone know if Colt offered a 5-1/2" version?
