I recently purchased this muffler because it looked like an Abarth. Are there any telltale markings that would identify it as being an Abarth muffler. Thanks!

Looks like it might be an early ABARTH? (It's for sure a muffler for solid apron cars, pre 1955). See if there's any serial numbers on the flanges? Some ABARTH mufflers have serial numbers on the flanges.....
Also look at mine here in this thread, it is for sure a 1960 36HP straight pipe one, I'm restoring it with heat resistant "wrinkle paint" and original decals from Europe.
