USPFA/USFA was a firearms maker in Hartford, CT between 1992 and 2011.
In addition to their core business of high end Colt 1873 SAA replicas they marketed Colt pattern percussion revolvers.
Complete percussion revolvers were received "in the white" w/o markings from both Armi san Marco (allegedly) and Uberti (confirmed).
Allegedly again these two Italian makers also shipped kits to USPFA/USFA to be assembled at the Hartford factory.
USPFA/USFA then finished these Italian percussion revolvers and applied their maker's mark.
My question here for the initiates: are any Colt 1847 Walkers know with the USPFA/USFA maker's mark?
Any information regarding this subject is appreciated.

Mine, #1816, has ZERO marking on it at all that were not identical to the original style of gun. Having been assembled in the USA from supplied parts, it was not required to have any form of proof or 'proof' of proof, nor origination stamps. Needless to say, it DID have a bunch of British Proof marks, but they had been done so that they were not visible without dismantling the piece.
 
I've only seen 1851's and 1860's from USPFA. Those are rarer than hen's teeth.
