Took it to the range and had a lot of fun. Now I'm trying to figure out who made it. It says on top Euroarms Brescia. On the side it says 1860 Army .44 cal and it has the proof marks that were reference in another site. There are three "XXX" which should be 1974, but according to the narative, Euroarms came about in 2001. It' doesn't look that old, has some meaningless scrolling on the cylinder and it really shoots well with 25 gr of BP. I haven't even cleaned up the shipping oil from my 1851 Navy yet to shoot, as I had so much fun with this one...and it takes so darn long to clean them!!!
Do you guys leave them a little oily with olive oil when you finish? My wife is not letting me near the oven with a pistol, so I cleaned it really well with water, Ivory dishwashing liquid, an dry rags than coated everything with an olive oil rag, then dryed the inside of the cylinders and the barrel leaving the outside a little oily.
