italian made .44 black powder revolver
Hi all, looking to see if anyone can help identify a black powder revolver. I got this gun used about 18 yrs ago but dont know much about it. It has "asm black powder only .44 cal. made in italy" on the right side of the barrel, some markings on bottom of frame in front of trigger guard and serial # on bottom of barrel. If anyone can help or knows where i can look online please let me know. I can also provide pics
Thanks,
Mike

That's Armi San Marco, one of four Italian repro manufacturers. Picture would help to identify the model.
Previous manufacturer located in Gardone, Italy, acquired by American Western Arms, Inc. in 2000 and reorganized as American Western Arms, Italia. See American Western Arms Inc. listing. Previously imported by E.M.F., located in Santa Ana, CA, and sold through E.M.F., Traditions, Cabela´s, and other retail gun stores.
All Armi San Marco black powder cap and ball and cartridge conversion models were discontinued in 2000.
In 1993, the Hartford line was introduced by E.M.F. These models have steel frames with German silver plated backstrap and trigger guard, inspector´s cartouche on grip, and trade for approximately $20-$40 higher than standard Armi San Marco versions.Last edited by Karl/PA; December 8th, 2011 at 09:14 PM.

That's essentially a copy of a copy. Remington New Army 1858 as copied by the Confederate Army during the Civil War. The brass frame makes it a Confederate.
The markings are factory inspection and proof markings.Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.
