typically, the ones I've seen have had steel grip frames instead of brass ones.
Replica London Models have blued steel BS/TG with the small round triggerguard and a London barrel address. Although variations could exist.
Original London models came in three varieties. Early London's that were made from parts shipped over and assembled in London, London-Londons that were made from parts made England; and Hartford Londons that were made and assembled in Hartford then completed revolvers were sent to England. All of the original London Models had the same "Address Col. Colt, London" barrel address. The early Londons had brass backstraps and triggerguards; London-Londons were blued iron; and Hartford Londons had iron or brass. All were basically early 4th model Navies; although variations were common due to Colt's penchant for using up all spare parts. Some Londons had square back triggerguards.
