Help with "Colt" revolver

[ACobra289]

Hi all.

I have an opportunity to buy this but wasn't sure if it's old or possibly a modern reproduction. Any information would be appreciated. These are all the pics that I have right now. I'm a newb when it comes to stuff like this. Forgive my ignorance if this is obviously a newer version.

Thanks!!

Its a modern repop and NOT an original Colt.

I would agree, and it looks like the wooden grips are homemade.

Thanks. Can you point out some of the indicators so I can learn what to look for?

Also wanted to add. Based on the asking price, I really doubted it was original, but I had to ask.

There are so many. Below is a link that will show the marking, serial # etc of originals so you can see what markings to look for.

Ridgeway Reference Library, Civil War plates and buckles

Thanks for the help! By the way, the asking price was $125. Figured it wasn't original, but no harm in asking.
