It's a Pietta "51 Navy Sheriff's Model with 4 7/8" barrel and steel frame. I removed the "tail" and reshaped the grip frame to a more Colt like configuration. I stripped the red stain from the otherwise lackluster grips, and went back to natural walnut color. Piling on multiple coats of tung oil as we speak! As soon as I get the grain to fill to my liking, I will post pics!!!!!
