I have a brass pistol barrel marked "Made in Italy" with a Pedersoli Dav stamp. It also sports a "XX7" stamp and two other stamps. One stamp is "PM" with a star over it and other looks sort of like a shield with crossed sword and musket with a star over that. Anyhow, does this mean anything to anybody.

The XX7 is the year it was made. In this case, 1971.
The star surrounded by eight lands and grooves over a coat of arms consisting of a hammer and anvil and crossed bayoneted rifles is the Gardone provisional proof stamp.
The star surrounded by eight lands and grooves over the PN is the black powder proof mark for Gardone and Brescia.
These proof marks are required on all black powder guns made in Italy after 1950.

Over the years, Pedersoli has sold guns thru a number of different suppliers.
Dixie Gunworks among others still sell Pedersoli guns.
