10/22/18 - This is an original 1941 production Beretta model 1934 in 9mm short (corto). The pistol has a very nice high polished blue finish with about 93-94% of the finish in tact. There's normal browning discoloration on the front and back straps, along with some edge wear on the slide. The right side of the gun has 3 "H" letters lightly scratched into the frame near the grip panel. Not sure what this means or why someone did this. The bore is about a 7 out of 10 with signs of use and patina throughout. There's light wear on the rifling but nothing major that would affect functionality. Comes with a nice Italian made leather holster. Guaranteed original and authentic.
