Title: Italian Proof Marks, Year of Manufacture
Post by: Noz on January 24, 2008, 05:07:15 PM
Some body sent me this a couple of years ago . I ran across it and thought it might be of interest to some of us that own Italian repros.
The mark appears in a small box on the right side of the frame of Piettas, Ubertis and ASPs. I assume any other Italian Manufacturer will follow the same system.
1960-XVI
61-XVII
62-XVIII
63-XIX
64-XX
65-XXI
66-XXII
67-XXIII
68-XXIV
69-XXV
70-XXVI
71-XX7
72-XX8
73-XX9
74-XXX
75-AA
76-AB
77-AC
78-AD
79-AE
80-AF
81-AH
82-AI
83-AL
84-AM
85-AN
86-AP
87-AS
88-AT
89-AU
90-AZ
91-BA
92-BB
93-BC
94-BD
95-BF
96-BH
97-BI
98-BL
99-BM
2000-BN
01-BP
02-BS
03-BT
04-BU
05-BZ
I have a recent Pietta that is marked CA. I assume that is 06.

Thanks Fingers, that's a great link. I used the info from Noz and found that the Uberti Remington Navy I bought the other day was made in 1971. Pretty neat stuff.
