Snagged at the Nebraska muzzleloaders convention this past weekend. .36 cal and in nice shape. Does anybody know who the Italian maker was? And was the pistol made in 1963?

What are the Roman numerals? I can't make them out.
Here's some info on Replica Arms from another forum (2008)

Looks like XXIII
XXIII would be 1967.

Thank you. Not finding a maker’s mark. Markings appear to be proof and date.Originally Posted by Battis
I like it!
Replica used Uberti for the 1860s and 1861s. I collected Replica Arms, Marietta, Ohio revolvers for quite a while. ASM for the horse pistols and the babies, Uberti for the bell models.

I prefer to use cartridges born before I was.

Thanks the quality made me suspect Uberti. Odd there is not a makers mark.
At the infancy of the replica industry, makers marks were not commonly used. Or, if used, only sporadically. There are certain “tells” that can help identify who made what. ASM seemed to always have long heads on the screws of the horse pistols that stuck out from the frame, typically where the grip frame joins to the main frame. On the 31 caliber Pocket Models, the thing I remember most is the triggerguard is too small for my finger to get in once the hammer is cocked.
The quality of the revolvers from Replica Arms, Ohio, is usually very good.
Oh, and the reason I know about the belt Models being made by Uberti? Wes Kindig told me when I bought a pair of 1861s from him. When Replica was bought out by Navy Arms, he was able to make a deal with RA and purchase much of the inventory. He sold it at his shop, The Log Cabin Shop in Lodi Ohio.
I do wish I had grabbed one of the Plainsman Rifles that Replica had built by Pedersoli. Very nice rifles.
