I don't visit the handgun forum very often so this may be old, worn out, stuff. But on another forum folks got sidetracked into talking about Colt reissue new/original revolvers. Someone said the machinery was shipped to Italy to make these. I had an ml gunshop in the '70's when the first .36 cal. Navy came on the market. I bought and sold some of these. And, I read up on them. As I understand, and remember, some original blueprints and tooling was involved. But the reissues were deliberately slightly modified to avoid them being passed off as old (real) originals. Most changes were subtle dimensional differences that a running man would never notice. But, original machines were not shipped to Italy....again, as I recall things from 40+ years ago.
