Hey all, new here but, I've searched and searched and cannot find another one.
I bought a Walker from an estate auction a few years ago. Unfortunately collector passed away family knew nothing of his collection and just wanted the $$$.
Anyways, this piece is new never fired. First character of serial is "B". It has a ASM makers mark but has no proof marks at all from Italy. No date code either. It does have the A.S.M. 44 cal black powder only made in Italy under barrel.
I have seen ASM made some in the 1890's but they had colt barrels correct? I know Italy didn't start proof marks until 1923 so does this mean my walker is over 100 years old? Seems there would be a reason why this was one of the very few out of 240 guns he never shot. Looking for age/value if its at all possible.
