there is one way to tell if it is real pull the grips and look on the side of the frame,
all the frames are marked with a letter than tell what caliber it was made in.

A 45 colt should have a number 7 on the side of the frame it could be on either side.

if it was build as a 45 ACP it will have a 5 on the side.

if it was a 44 special it will have a 4 on the side.

a 38 special will have a 8

I hope this helps.

What would a 357 Mag have stamped on the grip frame?
