Big Man With A Gun

I have recently inherited an Uberti replica of a Colt BP revolver. From all appearances it is an 1860 army but it does not have any markings identifying its calibre. I have located an online pdf concerning Italian proof marks and determined the pistol was manufactured in 1968 and from what my father has told me it was imported by a replica arms company based in Ohio. Unfortunately the barrel markings are unreadable due to years of neglect and rust. Only the proof marks on the frame and cylinder are visible, the number 24 is stamped on several components and a serial number (A4095) is stamped on the frame. I have been unable to locate a way to determine positively if the weapon is in fact an 1860 army or a 1861 navy as the pistol has the engraved cylinder, steel frame , steel backstrap, an 8 inch barrel and is also cut for a shoulder stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
