Thats not the right model. It should be blued not gold. Search for the Pietta Colt 1836 Patterson Deluxe.
Is anyone still looking for the Supernatural Colt Paterson? Just came across this site and found it interesting. I am a retired Veteran who has worked with my hand all my life either making or repairing firearms and custom knives or working as a machinist and millwright. I have started making miniatures now as a part time hobby. I can duplicate almost any kind of old style firearm and most knives and daggers.

The prop has had some enhancements for the show. The engraving has been darkened by rubbing black paint into the etched lines.
I have several Paterson revolvers. I don't have the deluxe engraved/inlayed version, however. The process of converting this revolver to cartridge is not an easy one. You have to thru-bore the cylinder to allow the cartridges to rear load, and you have to counter bore the rear of the cylinder to allow the cartridge rim to sit level with the back of the cylinder. No conversion cylinder maker offers this conversion in their range because this gun was never converted in real life due to its obsolescence when cartridges were introduced into wide distribution. A competent Gunsmith could do it, but the expense would make your eyes water.

I own one of the Extra Deluxe models. The Latin engraving, a clean cylinder, and the pentagram on the grips are the only real changes outside of a re-bluing. You guys might want to follow the link in my signature.
Hey, just do a search here for the Colt, cuz there is a guy already making them and they look amazing!!!
EHhh... I just looked it up, and I suppose it is barely passable for a cheapie. But I'd never buy it. Oz's replica, yes its gonna do some major damage to your wallet, but damn if it isn't worth it.
Here is the link to the thread here on RPF for it. (WARNING: Prepare to drool and start ravaging your couch cushions and street gutters for loose change) http://www.therpf.com/f13/supernatural-colt-184035/
