I couldn't find a drawing for the 1906 Colt 45 Auto [precursor to the 45 ACP] but I did find the dimensions in COTW, IIRC...I think I posted them to the other thread; I'll see if I can find the reference again...

Someone else here seemed familiar with the 1906 Colt 45 Auto cartridge; perhaps they have a really old book with a dimensioned drawing...
