Trying to identify cap and ball revolver

[Rick W]

I came across a cap and ball revolver that I'm trying to identify. It's a reproduction, a copy of the .36 cal. Colt 1860 Navy.
It has no manufacturer's name on it, or any other markings except the serial number and a couple of symbols that I can't remember on the frame.
Does anyone know who might have made it? It's missing the loading lever, so if I buy it, I'll need to know where to look for parts.
Thanks,
Rick

Those proof marks are key to finding out who made it. Probably CVA or Dixie Gun works. Could be wrong without proof stamps though. There are a number of other importers.

Need a few pics of proofmarks. Also mat be something under grips.

Thanks for the replies.I'll try to get a phone picture of the proof marks.
Is there a website showing black powder proof marks?

Not that I'm aware of. There's lots a good info on some BP specific forums tho.

Try this one for Italian reproductions: http://www.powderhombre.com/mbpproofmarks.pdf

Includes proof marks, manufacturing stamps, and date codes. It's a little old since it only has the date codes up to 2003, but it's easy enough to extrapolate forward.

THANKS!
That was what I was hoping to find. I'm fairly sure the gun is Italian, and that link should help me identify it.
