Never heard of. If an order was small, say, fifty or a hundred pistols, I would think customer (retailer) could simply order that. Factory's inventory could fill small orders easily. If someone wanted a few guns, probably buying from retailer was the easiest way -- no Paypal.com at that time, I bet it's hard for an individual to do "international business" at that time

Some conehammers had "R.M." on the back of the grip, I heard those came from Republic of Mexico. But that R.M. stamp was applied by user as property mark, not by factory.

Any special mark on gun with Argentine provenance?
