The value of a Colt 1878 with a 7.5-inch barrel, nickel plated, and a serial number of 26000 can vary depending on its condition and any accompanying documentation. In general, these revolvers can range in value from several hundred to several thousand dollars among collectors and enthusiasts. It is recommended to have the specific firearm appraised by a reputable gun dealer or appraiser for an accurate valuation.
Use a magnet. If the gun is nickel plated, a magnet will stick to it.
Single action or double action? Exactly how is it marked? sales@countrygunsmith.net
Hopefully you are looking at the barrel marking indicating a nickel steel barrel, and not that the rifle has been nickel plated. We would have to have a LOT more information to even hazard a guess on value. Condition, originality, any special order features....? Is it actually a rifle, or it is a carbine? Digital pictures would be a big help. sales@countrygunsmith.net
