2/1/23 - This is a very nice example of a Beretta Model 1934 issued to the Italian military in 1938. It is all matching and has the proper "Crown RE" Italian military acceptance proof on the left side of the tang. It has retained somewhere between 85-90% of its original high polish finish. The slide has a really nice plum-colored tint to it. Most of the finish loss is on the grip straps, where there is spotty wear and pin-pricking. There is also some light pin-pricking on both sides of the slide and minor wear around the muzzle and on the high edges of the slide. Fitted with excellent black bakelite grips and comes with one proper magazine. The bore has good rifling with light spotty oxidation here and there.
