Help for a friend

[macmuffy]

Trying to help my Brit buddy who has a collection of 17 Colts

Looking to see if there is more info on his latest addition.

Army 1860 s/n 17671 over either letter O or zero.
only info he has is that Ohio gov. bought 2500 of them.
Does the character under s/n stand for Ohio?

Thanks for any help you can give.
