Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the factory engraved model 29's, engraved in the USA as opposed to the ones engraved in Italy? PLEASE reply to: [email protected].

In general the Italian contract engraved guns have large patterns that cover the surface fairly quickly and they all have the same look and feel... For example,

Italian contract Class A engraved 19-4:









Italian Contract Class B engraved 66-1:





In-house Factory Engraved Class A 66-1:









In-house Factory Class A Engraved 19-3:










After you've looked at enough of them, the Italian contract guns are fairly easy to spot.
