Mohican, Dan & Fal:
Upon further research, golly I like this sort of thing, my records also indicate that it is the Colt New Army, also called the Colt New Navy, in cal's 38 short, long and Long Colt, 41 Short & Long Colt Mfg'd from 1889 to 1894.

My records further indicate that this model was adoped by both the Army and Navy, was Colt's first revolver of the solid frame, swing-out cylinder type. It lacks the cylinder-locking notches found on later models made on this 41 fram; ratchet on the back of the cylinder is held in place by a double projection on the hand.

This coincides with what Mohican describes in his initial request.
