I have 3 Italian black powder revolvers that I got from my father. I have been trying to identify them, but I cannot seem to find a makers mark.
1 is a 1848 dragoon (I believe) not sure what model.
1 is an 1851 navy
1 is an 1858 Remington
I could be wrong about these, but these are my best guess from looking at examples online.
all the guns have the Italian proof marks and date codes.
the dragoon has nothing else I could find.
the 1851 navy has a mark on the underside of the frame ahead of the brass trigger guard directly adjacent to the proof marks that looks like a Sierpinski triangle (triangle inside a triangle) but that is the only mark I found that I couldn't identify.
the 1851 Remington has "s. marco" on the left side below the cylinder, but I couldn't match that to a company (maybe I am searching the wrong sites)
any advise on where to look for makers marks be appreciated. I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow to post.
