I think that is a Confederate version of the Colt. It has a brass frame and not a steel one. I've got one that looks just like it. It's a .44 cal percussion revolver. Mine used a charge of about 40 grains of black powder and a .451 round ball. Just thought I'd mention it, OK?
Mine,s in a walnut case, too, and was bought over 50 years ago from Navy Arms. Still have it, but haven't shot in quite a few years.

Brass frames were common on pre 1850 Colts.
