I need some help in identifying a Colt 1860 Army copy in .44 calibre.
The only information on the revolver is the following.
“Left side of barrel = ( D^G ) Upside down V point at middle of D & G.
Right side of barrel = ( BLACK POWDER ONLY .44 )
Underside of barrel = ( MADE IN ITALY )
Serial Number = ( 246xx ) stamped on the underside of the barrel, on the flat just in front where it connects with the frame.
Cut on the bottom of the grip and screws for a shoulder stock.
Right side of frame under the cylinder has the following marks and they are also on the right side of the barrel;
1 = House mark, unrecognizable. ( Perhaps Brescia or Gardone )
2 = PN, with crown, Black powder proof.
3 = XXX = 1974 year of production.
Steel frame and backstrap.
Brass trigger guard and underside of grip.”
I may need to replace the hammer, but the revolver is in quite reasonable condition and the price was right.
