[4] The Italian manufacturers identified with the production of the Bodeo include: Societa Siderurgica Glisenti, Castelli of Brescia, Metallurgica Bresciana, and Vincenzo Bernardelli of Gardone Val Trompia.

[5] During World War I, Spanish manufacturers Errasti and Arrostegui of Eibar produced the Bodeo for the Italian government.

During World War II, the Wehrmacht designated the Bodeo as Revolver 680(i) when utilized as an alternative firearm.

Early production Bodeo revolvers were produced in the white (i.e., unfinished), and will have an external hammer block safety.

The Italians also contracted several Spanish firms from Eibar to produce Bodeo Tipo A revolvers during the war.

This variation was manufactured by many firms both before and after World War I, and many Tipo B revolvers were adopted for use by local police forces, as well as the Italian custom's officers.

[3] Due to the revolver being produced by a multitude of manufacturers, the quality of the weapon varied greatly, with the early production models made by the Brescia Arsenal and Glisenti Brescia between 1889-1906 showing much greater workmanship and quality than wartime production models.
