no I mean the nameless fakes ,made in the seventies in Italy and Spain,mostly tourist souvenirs , but live guns!!
I know a thing or two about steel ,been an ironworker for 32years now and build ships,
Nothing made off steel has the same composition as the steel made 200or 100 years ago,bridges, cars ,ships,tools ..and guns , composition of steel is different now,in those days a lot of cast Iron was used on things that should have been made out of pure steel or a better alloy, metallurgical know -how has improved over the years, off course the old quality guns are made out off good steel, but I loaded a kentucky pedersoli once with90 grains off BL.PDR and I don't think you should try that with an original one;;;;using the same modern powder in both guns
