Hi gentlemen,

after talking about FIE, PR, COM manufacturers marks, my searchs falling me on the new way : PR & ICAM marks found on the 1858 Remington Texas barrel, made in Italy with proof marks from Gardonne, dated 1980.

One more time, that the first time i eart about this marks. Maybe someone else ever eart about it ?
Thanks for the help.

That's a very, very nice looking revolver.
I believe that each of the markings must belong to some registered Italian gunsmith or gunsmithing outfit on this list. But without personal knowledge then which markings belong to who is anyone's guess.

ICAM is the importer. Good luck on finding out who PR is. MY PR was imported by FIE.

Hawg Haggen, thanks for your post.

How do you know ICAM is an importer ? could you tell me please.

I understand FIE is Firearms Import Export, but, the question in my mind is: how to be sure that it is, cause i never saw "Firearms Import Export" stamped in totality letters. Then is our supposition FIE mean that or that really true in fact.

arcticap, thaks for the link, but i didn't found ICAM or something else about it.

FIE was a well known importer based in Hialeah Florida that imported cheap guns until they went bankrupt in 1990.

Hawg,

Do you know who this importer is? I saw this on one other engraved revolver located on frame in back of and above trigger guard. I thought it might be an engraver's mark.

No I think they're defunct. I cant find much about them but I do remember guns being imported under that name some years back.

Excam was another one.
