On the right side it is marked SPECIAL COMPRESSED STEEL. On the bottom barrel by the serial number _IGNOTTI _ appears. The first and last letter are worn off. Their are more markings under the barrel like a big M,PSF,FINITO,XVIII. I�m not sure how to post pictures so I hope this is enough. I�m looking for the maker and model. This is a 12 . Any help is appreciated thanks.
