Thread: what have i brought???

The Daffini Brothers (Fri Daffini) and the company Daffini Libero Arms have been well respected gun makers in Brescia Italy from the end of WWII on.

There were a group of them who registered with the Brescia proof house just after WWII: Daffini Hannibal,Catherine Daffini , Emiliano Daffini . Joseph Daffini . Daffini Lat. & F . Free Daffini . Peter Daffini

I note that they used Brothers, (Fri) even tho Catherine is unlikely to be a brother.

Brescia, Italy is the heart of an area in Northern Italy famous for centuries for gunmaking. It has numerous factories that employ gun craftsmen and schools that teach the various industrial arts involved in gunmaking. There are and have been many small arms makers that make arms not very well known outside of the country of origin. These gunmakers also contract or specialize in making the components of the fireams bought and sold under different brands, providing lockworks, barrels, stocks, etc. Components are proofed by State agencies, and so marked (ex- PSF proof designates smokeless powder proof). Brescia is similar to Liege Belgium in that regard.

Daffini Brothers is registered at the Brescia proof house, and both makes components and finishes guns assembled from their own and others components.
