After that he picked up a Traditions 1851 brass frame Navy. We started talking about powder and where would be the best place to find things locally -- turns out there is a mom and pop black powder shop about 8 miles from him. While he was picking up stuff for himself he also found me a birthday present:

Did some digging for the proof marks, it's a Euroarms branded Armi San Paolo, made in 1973. (Like his Traditions one, a probably not so accurate .44 version.)
Kinda of curious about the number of grains for these brass frame .44s... His Traditions manual doesn't specify a difference between steel and brass frame, and just says 30 grains of FFF, I've read manuals from other replica manufacturers and they say no more than 15 in a brass frame...
