I'll double check when I get a chance; my sources don't indicate any of those made in Spain, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Tac, IIRC, Glisenti was a private company. Brescia refers to the Italian Arsenal in that city.

I am not sure of the power difference, but I would probably take that revolver over the SA Schofield (a gun I love as a collector and hate as a shooter). I would not want the folding trigger model, though. I would take the Webley only because of the faster reloading.

Here's a question along those lines. Say you are a soldier in combat in 1891. Would you want the current U.S. rifle, the "trapdoor" Springfield, or the Italian Carcano?
