1/11/19 - This is a 1944 production Beretta model 1935 designated for the Italian air force. The pistol is Air Force marked on the left side of the frame on the tang (near the hammer). The pistol has high polish finish that's in about 90-92% overall condition. The front and back straps are missing just about all of the finish, showing that this gun was used (or at least held a lot) during the end of WW2. There's also some light bluing loss on the slide - mostly around the edges. The bore has nice rifling but there are a few small areas of light patina. Overall the bore is very nice though: 8/10. Fully functional with smooth action and an original magazine. Comes with an original Italian holster with an interior maker stamp that I can't decipher. Spare magazine also included. Original and authentic rig.
