Thread: what have i brought???

i was in the local hunting and fishing store a few months back and spyed this little 22 on the 2nd hand rack i thought that’s a different one i left it there
i went in a few weeks later and it was still there i had another look and it was cheap enough i just chucked it on tick and droped a few bucks there way each week
picked it up today and i still have no clue what it is the guys in hunting and fishing couldn't tell me anything about it

its made in Italy and google had very limited info but found out they came with 4 and 8 round mags which i have one of each

its a neat little rifle but what is it

[EDIT: And where do you keep finding these things?!]

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.
