EMF Hartford Model Firing Pin Bushing

[MikeM.]

So, I just purchased a beautiful EMF or Armi San Marco Hartford model revolver in 44-40 that was made in 1994 but still new in the box. I was getting ready to send it to Alan Harton to have the hardened firing pin bushing installed as I always do to my Italians as preventive maintenance. I took the gun's cylinder out and , low and behold, it already has a bushing in it!! BONUS!!!   I was under the impression that ASM never did this so, can anybody tell me anything about this? when did they do it or maybe they only did it to the Hartford Models??? Anybody have any input on this??

Mine has one.  Serial #25XX, Cavalry Model.  If you shoot it much, don't be surprised if you have to replace some parts.  They tend to be soft.  Great shooters with a few tweaks.
