Hey Mike! Glad to see you're still kicking!
Nice Bodeo! I see yours is the folding trigger model with the octagonal barrel. That is the model that was issued to lower ranking soldiers. A version with a round barrel and a trigger guard was issued to NCOs and Officers. It looks like it's in very nice condition.Well after much waiting and excitement, here it is! My Italian Bodeo revolver. I will take better pictures later, I was too excited to wait for better light or background.

Just to let everyone know this is on the up and up, when Matt gets back from overseas we'll do the transfer to his FFL.Fellow Lounger KilroyCD selected a 1930's Colt manufactered .45 1911A1 for me from SARCO today. The gun saw service with the Argentinian Federal Police.
*That's not a scratch or crack, it's just a spaniel hair.

Matt, you are correct. The markings are on the underside in front of the trigger guard and are rather discreet, especially when compared to the "billboard" some importers (especially CAI) are known for.Chris sent me pictures of both sides and there are no visual import marks. But I'm pretty sure they are located on the underside forward of the trigger guard. Is that right Chris?
