I'm trying to find info on this revolver that I just picked up. It looks just like a colt model 1877 lightning, but it doesn't say colt anywhere on the gun. On the cylinder it has 3 Belgian proof marks. One is a crown and below it in a circle it has E then
LE and they used that proof since 1893. Another one is a crown with a L below it. There is another mark but I can't make it out. There is a 1 stamp on the front (I belive that it is the serial# because there is a 1 stamped on the under side of the barrel and a 1 stamped on the front of the frame where the cylinder rod goes.)
On the barrel is stamped 38 Cal. on the right hand side almost under the ejector housing there is a proof mark of a crown with a R under it and one other that I can't make out. On the underside it is stamped "Belgium".
It came with one colt grip with the horse on it and one grip with a deer or stag on it Under the left hand grip in the butt is stamped HT.
Just wondering if anyone has some info on this gun and what it might be worth. Thanks

. One of the grips is a little to wide because they woun't screw together.
