It's a clone. The caliber is 45 LC or long colt and must be stamped on the barrel. This is just like a Remington made 30-06 used to be stamped 30-06 Springfield. The caliber was designed by Springfield and that is what used to be stamped on every gun made in that caliber no matter who manufactured it.
I'm a gun smith and a collector and your revolver isn't worth that much, maybe the $250 range depending on it's condition.
You need to find someone local to set you right on your weapon and exactly what ammo to shoot in it. Do not shoot any of the 45LC +P ammo in that revolver. The +P stuff is fine in the Ruger revolvers or rifles but is not safe to shoot in colts or colt clones.

AHHA, can I ask you about my .45LC? It is a Virginian Dragoon, made by Interarms. It is grooved for a scope on the top strap and has target sights. It has walnut grips too. I bought it back in “82”.
I am thinking about hunting with it and putting a scope on it so I can reach out a little further with it.(also so I can see the target better, I think it has something to do with me needing reading glasses now.) ;)

Thanks for the ammo information. It was loaded when I got it and I have not looked at what the ammo is, other than confirmed it was 45 LC. I do not remember that it was +P
I will definitely follow up on that.
