    The AF refers to the year of manufacture and AF represents the year 1980. The "PN" is the black powder firearm proof mark of the Gardone & Brescia Proof House. It has been used since 1951.

    Hallo!

    Alas...

    The markings/stampings you listed are "generic" for Italian repro's and do not reflect a particular maker.

    Are there any more, on the barrel?
