That maybe a Civil war Colt Army .44 - one for sale on Gunsinternational..com for $2,275.00 Hope that helps! Good luck!
I was thinking a worth of maybe several hundred dollars. Other than checking the serial number with Colt to get the production date, I haven't done much research. I clearly need to check some things before I make a decision on what I am going to do with this weapon. So much character and history in this 157 year old beauty. Imagining the history involved is mind boggling
