I can give you a multitude of reasons why yours is not original, but the easiest thing to begin with is the barrel address. The ones with the heavy dash between “NEW” and “YORK” are 100% fakes. Note the dash on the barrel of this 100% authentic Danish Sea Captain Colt Walker:

The photograph of the barrel address is in the first column, third row.

There were only 1,100 Walkers original manufactured. Serial number 1902 shows as a 1st Model Dragoon.
Colt Walkers are some of the most faked Colts around.
Okay here’s a few more differences:
curvature of grip interface at backstrap, frame, and trigger guard differs from original.
Location of wedge not in exactly same location as original.
Cylinder stop differs from original.
Curvature of arc of loading lever and profile of loading lever differs from original.
Loading lever cutout profile differs from original.
Angulation and chamfer of rear part of barrel assembly forward of frame differs from original.
If scene on cylinder was distinct, I’m sure I could point out many ways in which it differs from the cylinder scene of the Danish Sea Captain Colt Walker.
Is further proof necessary?
How much do you have invested in your revolver?

and these locals have what knowledge and financial interest? What kind of money are we talking about here? Greed tends to distort peoples vision. First glance at the condition rules out genuine.

ASM (Italian maker Army San Marco) has made Walker models with a Colt barrel address and got sued for it from Colt. This one looks like one of the ASM with the Colt address. No Italian Maker actually has a Colt address on the barrel.
A lot was already said but think about it, a 175 year old gun without any traces of wear at the cylinder stops. Do you think that this is possible?

You could buy a nice Uberti replica for around $400 USD. Cased Walker for sale
Was found inside a wall in a home from 1744 and was there since god knows how long
A friend happened to drop it in a sonic cleaner for a minute

Would love some other pics to compare it to as well and zero it was free
