Being a .44 makes it the Army Model. The navy version is .36 calibre.
Just might help when you go to list it.

Not necessarily.
Traditions makes [markets] a Pietta .44 caliber BP revolver that is actually an 1851 Navy, [octagon barrel and all] with the rebated clinder from the 1860 Army. A purely fantasy creation, no doubt, but in my mind one of the coolest "shouldabeen" revolvers out there.
Sportsman's Warehouse has them [steel frame] NIB for $209. Both the box they come in and the label in the display case describe it as an 1851 Navy.
