Just picked this up this afternoon. Came with display case, flask, mold, and some conicals & roundballs cast from the mold. The only markings are 'Dixie Gun Works, MS.' on the top of the barrel; '.36 Cal.' and 'Blackpowder Only' on the right barrel flat; and 'Made in Italy' on the left barrel flat. There are no markings on the frame at all. There are two proof marks, a double diamond, and a six digit serial number starting on 01 on the cylinder. That is it. It's been used; but not abused; and has no rust on it at all. Person I bought it from said it had been in his gun safe for 10-20 years.
