  Need lots of pictures, detailed description, etc. You may want to check out the nearby thread on "Second Gen. Colt Blackpowders" for some excellent and indepth history on Colts.
  If it is, in fact, an original Walker Colt you're talking big bucks.

  As RCrosby indicates, clear high resolution pictures are really needed for this gun, especially all markings. An authentic and original Walker is very valuable!!
  
  You can find picture posting instructions at the top of this forum or at this link. I've found that Photobucket is a good "free" photo hosting website!

  All Walkers are marked 1847 but the overwhelming majority are reproductions. We definitely need pics.

  Being that the poster hails from Italy, hummm, maybe there's a good chance it is a older reproduction

  Yep. Most likely a Uberti or Armi San Marco.
