36 cal. black powder revolver made in Italy
I just inherited a 36cal. Sheriff Model revolver. Black powder only , made in italy. It says Patent N. It has 18737 stamped infront of the trigger. There is 3 stamped engravers symbols above the trigger: the first looks like a simple crest with a circle above it, the middle one has a pn under it, the 3rd is just a XX9. The first two are repeated on the side of the barrel. On top it says Euroarms brescia. The cylindar is etched with a nature scene and says ingaged 16 may 19(?)42. The two other symbols are also stamped there.
Can any one give me any info on this revolver?

"XX9" is the Italian coded Proof Date, for 1973.
These replica Black Powder revolvers have been imported in great numbers from Italy since the 60's. Many different Italian manufacturers have produced them over the years.
Brescia is a city in Italy where many firearms are made.
Unfortunately this type of Italian made Black Powder revolver aren't worth a lot of money, they are still being imported and sold. A used one depending on condition and finish, would probably be worth between $75 & $200, IMHO.0 -
