""MADE IN U.S.A."

Off the top of my head, I don't think that marking was added until after WW I, when the Spanish revolver flood REALLY started in earnest.

Also, unlike a LOT of the Spanish copies, it appears that all of the screws are in the correct places, with no extras, and the proportions appear to be correct.

I think this one has a pretty good chance of being the real deal.
