8/1/24 - This is a very nice example of a Beretta Model 1934 issued to the Italian military in 1939. All matching with the proper Italian "Crown RE" military proof. It comes as a rig with two period-correct magazines and an excellent brown leather holster. Then gun itself has retained about 97% of its original high polish finish. There is minor muzzle wear and a hint of thinning on the back strap. While there isn't much actual finish loss, there is spotty oxidation on the slide and on the grip straps. Fitted with period-correct black bakelite grips. The bore has good rifling, but there is pin-pricking throughout.
