I'll take it a bit further to suggest that it is a 1906 American Eagle in .30 cal. Highly buffed and reblued, with the straw coloring being forgotten during the process. I'm not really up on these things, but will go out on a limb to suggest that the gun is worth around $1000-$1200 with the mismatched military holster probably another $200.
But the numbers and markings are not well photo'ed, so my estimates may change as information continues to come in.
Like John said, Welcome aboard!
