I found this on Ebay this morning. Seller has for auction an Armi San Marco 2nd Model Dragoon, starting bid $200 with no bids. The 4 photos provided do not show the date code (insofar as I can see).
It is unusual (to me) as the wedge, wedge screw, and load lever pivot screw enter from the right side of the barrel, somewhat like the Walker. The load lever screw is a countersunk flat head screw and the wedge screw has a flat on one side that is not aligned with the wedge spring. It has an uncommon cylinder marked "US DRAGOONS" whereas most are marked "U.S.M.R." (US Mounted Rifles).
I have never seen that configuration before and hope to be enlightened by others who are more in the know.
Regards,
Jim
