    You have a Colt Second Generation Model 1851 Navy. It's a late "F" Series, made about 1981 towards the end of production before they discontinued their blackpowder line in 1982.

    Value, just for the revolver as I don't know about holsters, should be about $350-400 if you want to sell it quickly, and $500 if you are patient.

    You can do a search of completed auctions for similar revolvers that have sold, and adjust your price up or down from mine as you see fit.

    It appears to be a 2nd generation 1851 Navy replica, as made for Colt in the U.S., dating to the early 80's.

    You can tell the difference between the U.S. and the much more common Italian made replicas by the absence of Italian Proof marks.

    I don't know what they are going for now? The U.S. made replicas, are going for a lot more then the Italian ones nowadays, though.

    You might check the auctions, specifically for the U.S. made 1851 Navy replicas, to get a ballpark value.

    .36 caliber

    .36 is Navy; .44 is Army.

    The "C" series guns made from 1971 - 1978 bring more $. The "F" series without the box & papers bring around $350-$400.

    By the serial number. The "C" series was numbered from 4201-23401. The "F" series was numbered from 24900-28850.

    Yours is a standard Model F1100 .36 caliber 1851 Navy.

    You have a very nice specimen there, and without the box and papers, your price is absolute correct for the starting range. I would not take any less than that.

    Best

    EDIT 1

    You naysayer's are killing me. You can hardly get a modern current production gun for under $300.00, and the quality is no where near the 2nd gen Colt...lets not forget that it is sold by Colt. I know it doesn't make it exactly a Colt, but closer[:D]

    Well, maybe the right buyer is out there but here's a first-year 1971 "C" series with case, flask, nipple wrench, mold and cap tin for $560. Of course, you can always go down but you can't go up! [;)]

    Like I said, maybe the right buyer will come along but the market will determine the value.

    This "C" Series 1851 Colt Navy sold a few weeks ago for $435.00:
