Non-firing replica of Model 1849 Wells Fargo revolver aka Navy. This would be .36 caliber pistol. By non-firing it is not designed to fire live ammunition and not made of metal suitable for a firearm. But the action and timing work like the real thing. The appeal of Colt firearms was the timing. Timing being the interaction between the hammer and cylinders. When the trigger is pulled the hammer will hit the right spot and go bang. Other pistols back in the day not so much.
Last photo is a Colt Peacemaker for size reference.
