You have a Colt 1892 Army & Navy in 41 Colt. This model is more common in 38, although I have one in 41 Colt that I'm about to put on the auction side.
The 205 number on the gun and the holster are more than likely rack numbers. Value, in the condition yours is in would be around $250-$300.
There will folks along shortly with more knowledge on this revolver than I have.

Believe it's the civilian version of the 1889 Navy revolver, because of the lack of external slots on the cylinder. Only 31,000 made, most in .38 LC for the Navy and private sales. 41 caliber not nearly as common, could be quite desirable to a Colt collector.

I believe this is the Colt Double Action Navy Model, Model of 1889. The 41 (short or long Colt) caliber with hard rubber grips is the civilian version. The serial number dates it to 1891. This was the first swing-out cylinder double action revolver made by Colt. Note that it does not have any locking notches on the cylinder that were added to later models. The 210 is an assembly number to keep all the parts together with the same revolver as it was fitted and assembled.
If you register yourself on the auction side of the website you can do an advanced search for similar revolvers in "completed auctions" and see what asking prices and realized prices have been. It looks in great shape to me except for the chipped grip. This is very common damage to hard rubber grips however.0 -
I am more confused now with different answers LOL 0 -
Toni,
They are right, I was wrong, the picture tells the story. Your revolver is indeed a 1889 Navy model. The model 1892 I mentioned is a later model. Rufe Snow and Mrs 102 are right on the money.
