I have a SAA in .357, which only has "ASM ITALY * EMF B.A. CAL * ". Which is underneath the Barrel. On top is says "Hartford CT Model" and on the side of the barrel "Single Action Army .357". Very nice pistol, timing seems to be great, other than a slightly "clunky" feel. Fit and finish, and case hardening is perfect. Primers tend to crater a bit will my .357 loads, (making cylinder rotation difficult) have never tried factory loads in it, but it is very accurate with my hot .38 Special loads which don't "crater". I've never messed with the cratering issue, as I have two other .357's that handle full loads well, so the gun is just as useful to me as a +P+ .38 Special. But, don't have much use for it as it weighs more than my El Patron in .45 Colt, so which one to take hiking is a no-brainer. Don't know what this has to do with anything, but I thought I'd throw it in. Will probably trade it to a friend for a New Model Remington he has with the shorter barrel. I think it's a Pietta, not sure.
