The nineteen fifty-five barrel will not look good on the Brazilian. It has a rib on top that will not mate up with the slope on the front of the frame so there will be a noticeable gap that will look like k-rap eating a cracker. I would try lining the existing barrel or find an original barrel. Some of the re-bore guys may be able to clean your barrel up by cutting ever so slightly deeper grooves. You will like the results much better. Congratulations on your find. At least you have the gun for a project if it doesn't shoot with this barrel. Good luck.
