Just traded in to this 2nd Generation Colt .36 Pocket Pistol. Looks like it has never been fired. Will probably be trading this off.

Colt never made a brass framed 1851, so I believe that is a copy of a Griswold & Gunnison revolver, which was a brass framed copy of a Colt 1851, but with a plain cylinder. These were made for the Confederacy during the Civil War.

Here is mine:

EDIT TO ADD: No, I was wrong; the barrel on yours is octagonal. On the G&G, the barrels were round.
What I meant was I don't know who made it, Pietta or Uberti, etc.
 
If you have not done so, look on the bottom of the frame near the barrel lug or on the underside of the barrel hidden by the load lever. More photos of those areas and others may reveal something.

Back in the 1970's a lot of cap & ball guns were imported from Italy without any makers name or logo stamped on them.
Uberti, Pedersoli, Pietta and Palmetto usually did mark them. Some of the smaller companies didn't.
 
Shot this one today, a 1965 production Uberti .36 Navy, probably the most accurate BP revolver I own. It has replaced the 1858 Remington .44 as my favorite to shoot. Lead and powder go further too with the .36 and the targets and cans are just as dead. My brother came up today with his .44 1860 Pietta and we slung some lead down my range. We always end up the shooting by taking the Bill Hickok vs. Davis Tutt challenge, a hanging steel torso at 75 yds. Standing with a 2 handed grip we both only scored 2 hits out of 6. Not bad for two old guys I guess, he's 67 and I'm 70.

I love it, 72 here...
 
Here's an 1860 Army which is about as old as you are, 70yrs! It was made by Replica Arms Co NJ in 1952, the action is as smooth and tight as a fine watch and it shoots to point of aim at 25ft. It has natually aged over the years and it might be my fav percussion revolver of them all.

New Uberti 3rd model Dragoon, this one is dated 2021 got it from Midway last month. I noticed right out of the the box the arbor is the right length and Johnston and Dow bullets fit with no mods, maybe the Italians are starting to pay attention, at least maybe Uberti
