I've got a .58 cal Zouave made by Antonio Zolie, Cardone VT. It is stamped "F.A.R.A."
What does the F.A.R.A. mean?

It probably means something in Italian.
It's Zoli's manufacturer code.

Somewhere down that list, fara references Zol.
For coincidence I bought yesterday a Navy Arms Zouave 1965 with that infamous FARA markings which means Giuseppe Zoli. For sure he's one of the Zoli dinasty bearing the name of the founder, father of Angelo and Antonio, and I can only guess he came in support of relatives to comply with Navy Arms big order.
it is ITALIAN. ENDE!! it is not life threatening!!
