Hawes were made by ASP, Rigarmi and a relatively unknown maker that used COM as a manufacturers mark. ASP (Armi san Paulo) would be a good one. Rigarmi would be good but good luck on finding parts if you ever need them. I know nothing about COM quality but parts would be harder to find than Rigarmi. There should be a logo somewhere, under the loading lever maybe but it won't be under the grips. There will also be a date code on the right side of the frame. Either Roman numerals or two letters in a box.
