Hello, McPhee, Those Italians have taken a few historical liberties as when it comes to arms design. Colt never made the 1851 revolver in .44 and didn't make it in .36 with a brass frame. As far as naval scene, this took place between U.S. forces & Mexican, May 16, 1843. As far as being on "Army" revolver ?? perhaps they didn't want to pay extra expense for new roll die
Perhaps since Sam spent some time before the mast, he had a weakness for naval themes? If I were you, & going to do alot of shooting, I would go with the steel frame. Best of luck!
