Picked up a Zouave for almost nothing at a Gun show recently... Thought it might make a good gun for new team members.
I don't recognize the Maker nor do I have any knowledge regarding its safety/abilities.
Any info anyone might share on this gun would be helpful.
Description:
Marked FIE. Also Marked PR with year AD (in the box) so its a 1979 (light stamping, but definitely AD). Italy with two Italian proof marks...
The breech is an offset patented breech. Meaning that there is a hole (about 1/8") offset from the center of the bore that goes to the flash hole at the bolster.
Stock is two piece, comes apart at the lower band.
Lock is odd (as compared to Zoli). Coil springs instead of leaf.

Let me know what you know!!
Thanks
