Attempting to send pictures.
 Non top strap round barrel   almost no markings .
 I shouldn't say no markings theres 3 letters in a row that seem to me they are backwards maybe a asp but the p or b or d has a screw threw it so i cant figure out that letter .
 Also if i have seen one engraved cylinder i have seen 50 in my life time
Most were reproduction.
(The one Sam Colt made famous was like this one but stamped  colt and   caliber also serial numbers all over ext.)
The cylinder reads engaged 16 may 1863 (i think )with war ships and does look very nice . also (patent n.)
The rest of it nothing .
Awaiting help to send pictures from pacasa.

Great.
 hope to find some people in my area  too.
 I also have a  minor addiction to my recurve and what i am told now is the traditional archery because we use real feather fl etchings and wood arrows.
 So being in a place that bp is king  is  just right.

 Probably posted in the wrong spot hope i didn't make anyone sore .
 So im trying again.

I own two Bp revolvers one has a top strap the other doesn't after  some research i  believe they may both be Italian.
One has only one marking three letters that seem to be backward.
 no serial number  or identifing marks

 The other pn with a   star or a sun above and ad in a square beside them.
 Serial number on the butt of the handle 070264 also on the barrel there's the same  symbols  and for black powder only made in italy.
 octagon barrel   the whole revolver around 12 inches long  top strap  brass trigger guard  the rest is steel.
wood grips unfortunate its not blued.
 Would like to find parts to fix it or a gun smith to look at it.
 the other one  a bit of a mystery .
 All help appreciated.
