With any colt of that age and also that it is engraved along with who has done the engraving,you would be much better served to have your firearm appraised by a pro.especially one who deal,s with the older models such as yours.I would also write to the colt factory and get a letter from them stating when it was made who did the engraving and when was the firearms shipped and to who! this is usually costing about 100 dollars,but it is money well spent.
100-400 USD

The 44 Magnum was never a black powder cartridge, and was not invented in 1847 (Well into the 29th century). If you can give a more accurate description, we may be able to help- or have a firearms dealer take a look, and see what you have.
