I can tell you it’s an Italian reproduction based on the PN proof mark.

Yrs , that i know,I want to know why made it and when.
I shoot BP alot, it has Never been fired. The barrel and cylinder were spotless.
I think it's a reproduction of a 1860 colt. But not positive.
I'm going to shoot it next week and start with 15grs

Gotcha. I think there is a thread on here somewhere that discussed those Italian stamps pretty in-depth. I bet a search will turn it up for you. Hope you find what you’re looking for.

Who would buy a gun and not shoot it? Anyway. It says Navy arms, in NJ. But they closed up when owner died.
It's not a pretty, checked with them
They said no, not ours.
