I did a little research for ya.
Richland Arms Co was an importer of "Replica" arms from the 60's until going out of business in 1986. "Yorkshire" is the model or style of gun and the 1573 is likley the serial#.
Other stampings on the barrel are "proof" marks like a small crown with a slash and numbers, if it has a ASM stamped on it, that's not good. It means- Armi San Marcos- an italian maker that had alot of trouble with quality during that time. Do a google search on Richland Arms Co. and scroll back to pages 2-3 or more. Heirlooms are sometimes priceless,,and sometimes buyers are just looking for re-sale profit,,Good Luck
