Still looking for some kind of clarification

I have looked at some websites that list sereial numbers and they seem to conflict.

One site says that it is a colt ace that has been converted to 45A.P.C. and another site says it is a pistol built for the navy in .45 ??????

I realize that what ever it is , it is old and would like to restore it to original condition in order to pass down to my sons. The problem now is finding out exactley what caliber it was and when it was made in order to find the proper slide , barrel and ejecter.

Any further help would be greatley appreciated.

Also..... Can anyone tell me what the letters VP in the triangle on the left side of the triggerguard signify? I have seen this on other colts both military and commercial. but only on colts. Is this the proof mark for colt ? On the other side of the trigger guard is the number 60 dose anyone have any idea what that represents?

Thanks
