There are only two possibilities: Either you have an original 1st generation Colt Navy 1851 or 1861 or Army 1860 in perfect mint brand new condition (otherwise that line would have been faded away), then you should reckon with at least USD 8,000 (and in that case you are a reputed collector and ought to know by yourself) OR this is just a modern Italian or Belgium replica of the 1970s, then it's between USD 50 and 300, depending on the model, design and condition.

The 583.880 is not the serial #, that is the Sears part number. The serial number will be on the other side of the frame.
Depends on condition & whether all major parts have the same serial number stamped on it & when in 1943 it was produced. A poor example with non matching serial numbers can go for 300.00 or so. A pristine example with 98-100 % finish, matching serial numbers etc can go for 800.00 or more. A WW2 P38 holster can add 100-200 to the price.
Is it a revolver or semi-auto? You can go to Ruger's website to look up the serial number.
If you can let me have the serial number I can tell you the age. I have a W. R. Pape serial number chart. If you can send a photo I can tell you approximate value. Douglas Tate Editor at Large SHOOTING SPORTSMAN
Sure that's not a serial no? My guess is five figures in US$
read what is on the barrel. it will tell you who made...................
That would depend on Mr. Ormsby's reputation in the engraving community, whether it was done at the factory or after market and overall condition of the piece.
100-400 USD
The CVA 45 caliber blackpowder with the serial number 0025524, could only be 2 years old by the year 2014.
