MARKINGS ON OUR REPLICAS

 
 

MANUFACTURER MARKING

 
  The manufacturer marking for ARMI SAN PAOLO (from 1973 to 2000) and for EUROARMS ITALIA (from 2001) is made by the three letters GDG as you can see in the picture  
  The three letters are the initials of the company founders (Grassi, Doninelli and Gazzola)  
     
 

 
     
 

 

 
 
 
 

LOTHAR WALTHER BARREL MARKING

 
 

The revolver barrels manufactured by Lothar Walther are identified by a letter N which is obtained stamping four triangles as shown in the picture.

 
     
 

 
     
     
 
 
  PARKER HALE MARKINGS  
 

Parker Hale in Birmingham discontinued the production in the 90es and sold all the parts and machineries.

 

Euroarms bought most of the parts and obtained the legal right to use the Parker Hale mark.

 

The barrels of our replicas are made in Italy. Therefore the Parker Hale marking do not attest that the barrel was made in England by Parker Hale.

 

The Parker Hale marking (only for some models and versions of rifles) is on the top of the barrel.
