Need serial number to answer. Go to proofhouse.com to look up.
No way to answer without the serial number.
You will have to call Colt with the serial number to find out.

The 1851 Colt navy with serial # 112343 was produced in 1861. (98000-117999) about 1861
made about 1852
It was made in 1974.
The highest for Colt 1851 navy original was only 215348 in 1873. Yours must be a reproduction model?
