Armi-Sport De-farbed Enfields

[Southron]

Maybe I am the last to get the word, but now Armi-Sport is advertising "De-Farbed" Enfields on their website:

Anyone know what the markings are? Have they changed their stocks?

THANKS!

I wonder if they will remove the "Black Powder Only", their name, and serial number, and other markings that are required, but not period correct?

I'm betting you will have to get more "de-farbing" done to it!

U.S. Customs law requires the "Made in Italy" markings and the ATF requires the serial number to be stamped on the barrel. In addition, Italian law requires that the Proof Marks of the Proof House in Brescia be stamped on the barrel after it passes proof.

By the way, always take the proof marks from the Brescia Proof House with a "Grain of Salt" as they use a very weak black powder in their proof testing. That is an "open secret" with the replica manufacturers in Brescia.
