dear sir 
I'm writing you from over the pond ,let's say from flanders in belgium ,
the Colt cy. made about 30.000 items for export to Russia, 
about 20 pieces for them selfs for trials, marked on the barrels in english ,these  are extremly rare .
Colt had lots of difficulties and intriges between  Mr Berdan and Gorlof , the repsentative of the tsaar ,and stopped production .They went to BSA for further production of the Berdan II
greetings from Jarmann
