My thoughts.

Colt repros were made by Uberti and then shipped, as parts, to the States, so Colt could assemble them and call them COLT. They are no better than any other Uberti colt-copy, but they sell for more because they say COLT on them.

Armi San Marco guns need to be avoided.

I would not buy a gun with a brass frame. You say it is for display (not for shooting), and brass frames should be cheaper, but they will not stand up to the pounding of full-power loads. You would either need to down-load 'em or expect them to shoot out quickly.

If it's really just going to be for display, and you won't shoot it, I don't see where it matters WHO made it.

If it was me, I'd buy an Uberti.
