I recently picked up a very old Paterson that I'm trying to ID. It has the Italian proof marks on the frame and "Made in Italy" but nothing more. It's dated XXVI (1970). The barrel is 9", like a Pietta. But the nipples are four slotted, like the Ubertis. Uberti nipples that I just got from Taylors are slightly too large. It looks like the four slotted nipples that were in the gun might have been hand fitted (altered from what they were).
Under the barrel are very small letters MDFRA, which I can find nothing about.
It's a cool old gun, in great shape, but I'd like to find the proper nipples for it.
