Your revolver is a Colt m1877 Lingtning in .38 Colt or m1877 Thunderer in .41 Colt
Bit of trivia- Colt did not name their revolvers "Lightning" or "Thunderer", that was done by a western novel ("dime novel") writer in the late 1800s. Much like "Peacemaker" and "Single Action Army", these are indiscriminately applied (Single Action Army really applies to the P model in 45 Colt). But they're in common use, so . . .
