I know this maker was manufacturing Model 1889 "Alighieratto" (pardon my lousy Italian) Bodeo-type DA service revolvers in the mid-1920s, and previously had made Model 1891 Carcano service rifles for the Italian government. Did they make any sporting arms?

Their Bodeos that I've seen were very well finished; as well done as those by Bernardelli, who of course made sporting arms as well. Wonder if the Castellis made any?

Here is a bit about the maker.

Here is the trade mark


Nothing about sporting arms produced. Everything looks to be for government contracts.
