Come across this. The date code is '77. Has a "pin?" on hammer that leaves a mark on the cap like a firing pin on a primer. Never seen that,of course theres a lot I haven't seen. Removed grips and it has a colt type spring instead of what I seen on a made in 2000 Remington. The way it busts caps into a neat one piece clover don't think it needs to be changed. Just what do we have here? 20200710_184736.jpg 20200710_185032.jpg 20200710_210805.jpg
 
An FIE import. I had a baby dragoon imported by FIE. Markings on the gun will identify the italian maker. I'd like a closer look at the hammer face if you don't mind.

I have to have help with pics. After these they ran and hid! It looks like other 1858 hammers but has a slight nub.Wish I knew some history of it. Nice shape for age. Probably spent most of its life in a drawer or safe...
 
FIE, it's just like the one I bent ( stay away from hard lead or oversized balls)!! I bought mine about the same time.
The "slight nub" may be from dry firing on the original nipples ( it didn't come that way!) I think flat would be better. Caps are more "rimfire-esk" than center fire. Some of my frat bros and I had a lot of fun with that revolver!! It was my first c&b revolver.

Mike,what did you bend? Loading lever parts? The lever on this one works but is tight feeling.I had never laid eyes on this when I posted about finding some .451's. I tried them in this and it was real hard to load a couple frosty ones. Glad I had them.

Theres a couple numbers on bottom of barrel where it goes in frame. Can't see all of it for frame. "black powder only" on lower side of barrel but nothing under loading lever. Has 3 digit number on one side under grips.Has same proof mark? on frame,cylinder,and barrel.
 
I think the archived forum link I sent is going tell you about all you will find on the early imports. I looked for more but it all seems to revert back to proof marks. Looked at the list of Italian manufactures but didn't find any manufacture stamps.

Discovered this one is smaller then a new Pietta 1858. It fits in a holster that was too tight of a fit for the newer one. Wish it was still around but some one made me a crazy offer on it....
