That is the motto and the state seal of South Carolina. The revolver needs a photo for proper ID. 0 -
Is this Pistol a copy of a Colt SAA? If so i would say this is a Virginian Dragoon, made by Interarms in Virginia. Interarms was a big Gun importer, but they did make a few guns...... one of them was the Virginian Dragoon, a copy of the Colt SAA but about 8-10% bigger to handle the 44 mag.round. They made a very few of a special run of "13 Original Colonies", South Carolina being one of them.
I think this is what you have. There are always a dozen or two,( of the common style), on the auction side, see if yours looks like those. I have collected these pistols for years and thier quality can not be beat.0
