Pietta Remington

I didn't want to hi-jack ian45662's post regarding his 58's age, but have wondered the same about mine. I see no xx? numbers stamped on the frame. The serial number is XR352xxx. The barrel is stamped BZ PN (*symbol crossed guns?*) ***.

Thank you.

If you go here, there's a chart with the different codes. BZ is 2005.

If I'm understanding the proofing marks for Italian made items correctly it could be a 2-letter combination.
So"AC" would be a valid proof-mark, but for different years it could be roman numerals also.
I think that sometimes the substitution of "X"'s for actual digits is just to not reveal the full serial number, a common practice on shooting forums.

In the case of a serial number, many people substitute "x"'s for the numbers but looking at the numbers/letters shown in the above link indicate that there were several years when the Proof stamping uses "X"'s in combination with numbers to indicate the year the gun was proofed.

Thanks all. Sorry the serial number x's, were placeholders.
