I recently aquired a traditions 1851 44 cal revolver. It has deep blueing and is engraved Union Army and 1 of 1000 on the barrel. It has a 7 1/2 barrel. Anyone with info on what year these were produced and sold. original cost?

There should be a date code on the frame. Two letters in a box. Here's the date code key.
