They're easily removed. That's the first thing anybody does when faking a gun.
I'm not up on Paterson's by any means but the ones I've seen pics of had the writing in script and they do say Colt's not Colt. However I'm sure I haven't seen pics of all the variants. What bothers me the most about it is the letters were stamped one at a time. Some are out of line and some are stamped deeper than others. If it was mine I think I'd find out if the screw threads matched original Paterson's. It's still a nice piece with an original look to it and you might just have the real deal.
