Looks like a few parts are missing.

Looks like most parts are missing.
Looks identical, except for the missing parts, of a Navy Arms Griswold and Gunnison revolver

A quick search does not show if Navy Arms carries the parts anymore. Dixie Gun Works used to have everything.
Spend $250 more, and get a kit version, with the parts you are missing

You could sell the parts on eBay and probably more than quadruple your money.
Nice score!

So: No loading lever or plunger. No hammer and from the empty screw holes no trigger no bolt probably no hand and none of the springs. Check for a manufacture mark. Google Italian proof marks and you may find who the manufacture was.

Looks like an unfinished kit. Some were horrible with mismatched parts that couldn't be assembled correctly.

There were no manufacturer marks.
When i get a chance i'll remove the internals from my pietta and see if they fit.
I do know the cylinder will fit on my cva 1860 bought in 1986

If that's the case it's most likely ASM production, VTI might have parts for it.

Nice! Want to double your money? I have enough parts to probably get it back together, minus a loading lever.

It's worth asking and VTI shows ASM parts. VTI has a check stock button but my latest quest for ASM parts for an 1860 show they have few of them left. They may have more ASM parts for the lesser known models though.

So do I. I have an 1851 .44 Italian replica with a stretched out frame. And I have the loading lever.

Looks a lot like my old brass framed 44 caliber 'Navy' that I bought way back in 1968. Of course the 1851 Navy was never made in 44 caliber, but I didn't know that back then.
This is the Uberti trademark stamped onto the frame. It represents the muzzle of the 1851 Navy with a U inside for Uberti.
