I just got a Cornell Publications reproduction of the 1964 Armi San Marco Catalog.
While most of it is filled with their shotguns, the remainder includes their Black Powder reproductions.
Their early offerings included:
Whitneyville Walker .44
2nd. Model Dragoon .44
Baby Dragoon in 4 and 6 inch octagonal barrel lengths .31
Wells Fargo in 4, 5 and 6 inch octagonal barrel lengths .31 without loading lever
Colt Pocket in 4, 5 and 6 inch dragoon style round barrel lengths .31
as well as flasks, molds, wrenches and cases for the above.
Interestingly their logo at that early date is a circle around a standing griffin with one foot resting on the capital letters "GB."
The company's full name is listed as:
"Armi San Marco Buffoli Perito Industriale Giuseppe."
Perhaps the "GB" is for Giuseppe Buffoli.
While Cornell does not have any later versions of the ASM catalog, early EMF (Early and Modern Firearms) catalogs have a wide selection of BP arms that were mostly ASM products at that time.
Sadly the latter do not specify which models were ASM's.
