Hello. First time posting on the forum. I purchased a used side by side shotgun from Simpson LTD. They advertised it as an AYA. The shotgun barrels indicate the gun was mad in Italy and it has Italian Proofmarks. There is no indication which manufacture made the shotgun but there is a stamp that is not a Proofmark. It is a shield with a star in the shield. Does anyone have resources in regards to the manufacture stamps? I have emailed the proofhouse in Italy that proofed the gun but they have not responded. Thanks

Lovely find. Interesting fleur de lis stamps as well as Crowned Gothic F? on the tubes. I wonder if the fleur de lis stamps were a control mark of Toni? At this juncture, the Italians were sourcing Liege for their pattern welded tubes. Is the last term "ROMA" noting T. Toni has a shop in Rome?
Cheers,

 Note how the inhouse marks mimic the German Proofhouse ones. I don't believe any touchmark below the PSF is a proofmark. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-f...un_id=100974852Cheers, Raimey rse

Raimey, I think Roma was the location of Toni's shop. Daryl

So does Roma = Rome?

I wish I could look at that 1969 catalog and read Swedish. Still no response from the Gardone proofhouse
