It's on the top strap just above the cylinder, and really doesn't show up very well in a photograph. Truth be know, it's insignificant, and it's more likely a case of my being anal.

The gun shoots just fine!
 
OK I see I jumped the gun. Wife will be home in a few days so you guys will get a befor and after picture of the kit gun, After pic may take some time as I busted my pelvis this Suinday.
 
A picture of the kit would be fine but it must be in your possesion...not a stock pic from an ad or from somewhere online.
 
I'm comfortable making the assumption that the double diamonds mark is an early Pietta trademark variation.
Did anyone else make a Spiller & Burr brass frame revolver in 1975?
That's the revolver that is in my photo.
Other Italian makers have made slight alterations to their trademark over the years. So I feel confident believing that mine was indeed a Pietta having double diamonds.
The person that you mentioned may want to have absolute proof before they will believe something for which referenced documentation simply may not be readily available.
However, the Pietta single diamond is close enough to the double diamonds variation to satisfy me.
As well there have been some other known maker's mark variations that include 3 used by ASP (Euroarms) and the 3 used by Pedersoli since 1957.

Davide Pedersoli, one of Italy's oldest manufacturers
has had three logos since 1957. The earliest was a diamond
inside a circle. This is rarely seen. This mark was
followed by the image of an anvil with PEDERSOLI
above it in capital letters and the initials DAP inside the
anvil. This again is rarely seen, except on very early models.
The company logo, a lowercase dp within an oval,
has been used for more than 40 years. This logo is often
followed by the DAVIDE PEDERSOLI or PEDERSOLI
name in capital letters. In short, there is no mistaking a
Pedersoli product!

I thought that was one of Dr Davis' unknown manufacturers that he's been trying to track down. Pietta uses an FAP inside a single diamond.

Who is Dr. Davis? Is he writing a book? Perhaps there isn't any mystical maker to search for but rather the simple resemblance to Pietta's current single diamond maker's mark that should suffice for most practical purposes.
