It has the wrong grips. Barrel address and serial numbers are very hard to read from being worn down. The serial number is 11??5, putting it in the early 1880s range. 278 is marked on both the loading gate and under the right grip. It appears to be a .44 cal.. A good project gun.  MAKER: Colt APPROX AGE: 1880s. SIZE: Barrel length 5-1/2 inches.  CONDITION: Poor for its age, wear expected.
