Looking for help identifying a Russian .44

[Patsup2]

Hello ,

I live in Belgium and have a ( i think ? ) a 1873 s&w russian .44 .
It has as markings on the bottom of the grip : 1869 and
17899 .
No markings on the side of the pistol .I heard that copys were made in europe and am wondering if this is one .
Any help is welcome .
Pat
