Major:
Thanks for the info but the rifle has no lettering such as [BZ] or [CA]. I scrutinized it from Butt to Muzzle but no markings as thoes.
There are no letters on the tang, when you indicated it may be on the tang, is that the underside I would have to remove the stock to see.
The only Markings are the standard 1866 Carbine, Serial# and on the top of the barrel, behind the sight (45 LC) and in front on top
(Stoeger-AUberti-Gardoni, IT.)
Again thanks for any help.
