Description:

The left grip tang on this Beretta Model 1935 semi-automatic pistol is stamped with the 4/UT inspection marking (Italian 4th Technical Service) and the rarely seen eagle/WaA162 German Army acceptance proof. After the Italian government entered into the September 1943 armistice with Western allies, the German acceptance proof was applied to Model 1935 pistols produced by the German captured Beretta factory in Gardone. The left side of the slide is marked "P. BERETTA-CAL. 7.65-BREVETTATA / GARDONE V.T. 1944" (correctly without the Italian Fascist date). The pistol is fitted with the standard metal backed black plastic grips with "PB" emblem and has a high polished blue finish. Matching serial number on slide and frame. In Jan Still's book "Axis Pistols", Vol. II (page 107), the serial number of this pistol is not listed as being one of the 19 reported Model 1935 pistols stamped with the scarce Nazi Army acceptance proof. The reported serial numbers represent a broad serial range. Another example with high polish blue (#521766) is photographed on bottom of page 109 of "Axis Pistols" Vol. II by Jan Still.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% original high polished blue finish with some scattered mild edge wear and some mild thinning on the grip straps. The grips are excellent with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
