Question from Don sent through our support page:
Hello, Have an issue hoping you can help me with.
Purchased long ago if memory correct & not knowing is purpose of question, 1851 Navy Colt .44cal. but to confirm, I can not locate anywhere on pistol A cal. marking & even removed trigger guard looking for it. From a proof determined manufactured 1986 & other than Naval script on cylinder, only info found on barrel under ram rod is " A.S.M-BLACK POWDER ONLY MADE IN ITALY" NO other markings or wording are located on barrel or frame.
just forward of trigger guard on bottom are few proof marks & Serial NO: A48527 and same info located in front of. basically info exist where frame of pistol & barrel assemble/mate up when fully assembled.
Hoping with your resources, you are able to learn what I haven't been with internet searches. So trying to confirm what i actually have so able to use safely & purchase required size ball's to do so.
Thanks for any assistance your able to provide me.
