Cool!
Looks like a Pietta with a "Legal Defender" ring and a cut off "sheriff" fluted cylinder.
Am I close?

H.H.,That just depends on how you want it done!~
That is a real "beauty". You did a great job on it. I guess the one you are doing for me we will have to call the "beast".
Here is a Kenny Howell built 1861. It came into my posession in a trade off the SASS wire a few years back and haad been used HARD and repaired buy someone with hams for hands.........I tightened up the arbor and made some other necessary repairs but have left it alone for it's unique "charm" ::)

Here is my pair of 1861s. Bought years ago to replace a pair of originals I had been using. A collector wanted the originals more than I did so I used some of the money to by these Ubertis.
These, although not fired of late, remain my favorite revovlers.
That looks like an 1851 snubbie to me............
Kenny wouldn't provide any help ........
My pair of 1861 RM Conversions in .38 Long Colt cal.
They are my main match pistols since 2018.
The one with the silverish grip frame is a 2nd gen Colt, the other a 4-screw frame Uberti.

:) REALLY?? :(
The big Bugg-a-Boo is over a half inch of barrel?? One can't even "see" that difference at 6 feet. Trade off correct Barrel to Arbor fit, Better Hand Spring, Better Main Spring for half inch of barrel just seems silly. Pietta may need to have the Bolt fit to Cylinder though.
I shouldn't have gone looking. Daggie Nabbits, now I'm thinking about another pair of Conversions. Actually, 5 1/2 inch barrels "could" be fun . . . . . . Piggy Bank. Must find my Piggy Bank > > > > >Why not? You could always cut them down... ;D
Or buy mine :) complete as shown.If I remember the 7.5 barrel was a 1851 . I want the 1860 army style
* 2 lined barrels for .357-38 special 3" and 7.5
