I have a early 1858 reproduction needing grips. Has no name just "black powder only" and Italian proof marks.All the present Italian gun grips are too small.Any one got a clue? Thanks, Hunter

Later I just loaded every other chamber and didn't worry about it. Many rabbits and a few snakes fell to that pistol.
Added. The flash holes were fine, the problem was 40gr of 4Fg was on the warm side. A better choice would have been say 30gr and several greased felt wads to keep the ball out to the ends of the chambers.
