Need help identifying this pistol

[gonzales]

Guys,

Maybe one of you can tell me which Italian manufacturer made this 1858 Rem.



There are only proof marks with a "PN" and "NUOVA" on the grip frame.

Anybody know who made it?

Can you post a closeup of the whole revolver both sides?

Thanks SG,

I believe you may have answered me on the other thread.

I think with PN proof its a Pietta.

The PN is a standard black powder proof mark.  My Peitta's and Uberti's have it.  PN is the Gardon proof house stamping.
There are two standardized proof house marks. The first
is the provisional Gardone proof, consisting of a star surrounded
by eight lands and grooves over a coat of arms
featuring a hammer and anvil and crossed bayoneted
rifles; the second is a star surround by eight lands and
grooves over the capital letters PN. All firearms produced
in Italy since 1950, regardless of type, receive the first
stamping. The second, also instituted in 1950, is the first
black powder proof for Gardone and Brescia, and is only
used on black powder arms. Thus all black powder arms
must bear both proof house symbols.
