Dragged out a pair of my favorites today to compare them to the newly arrived quad of 1960 Centennials, a matched pair of 1860 Army copies imported by Richland Arms. Uniquely in my collection or Italians, the tops of the BBLs are marked with the "Address Saml Colt, New York" markings, as are th originals and 2nd generation ones. These are a pair of the nicest copies I have ever seen, with great wood, beautiful metal, and excellent finish. Italian proofs but no makers marks other than the Richland marks on the right side of the BBl.

So, who among the usual Italian suspects made these?
