Tonolini was a Gunshop in Brescia, Italy and sold Guns made by small workshops of the region. The pictured Gun has a stamp on the water table “Fausti di Brozzo”, what means it was made by a Fausti located in Brozzo, a small village nearby. Unfortunately there are no further informations available, but I think it was a relative of the Gunmaker family Fausti which is still active today.
