Well either post a picture or go to the Uberti website and look at their repro Colt revolvers and see what they look like to ID it. Then you can buy from them, a nice repro and shoot it to see what it was like. I did that once. Had a 49 Colt pocket pistol that was no finish well worn. But functional and perfectly displayable. Then I got an Uberti replica like it so I could actually fire one. You can see what a mess black powder makes of revolvers and then know why they are all rusty relics!
