No its a Colt 1851 Navy..serial # shows 1864.
I won't keep U Boyz in suspense. Its a cartridge conversion from percusssion. There were 3 main types Thurer, Richards and Mason. This looks like a Thurer, but I'm not holding my breath. They made 5000 Thurers, so its fairly rare. Its also been FAKED quiet abit. So we shall see.
The Joesph Egg is a straight gun and is a GOOD value for the money. It was an expensive gun in its day, with the Gold inlay and all.
The milled Receiver on the Aresnal is the BOMB, and the trigger pull is impressive...
