This example of a Model 35 pistol was manufactured during the German occupation of Italy during World War II at the Armaguerra plant in Cremona. The historical record concerning Armaguerra produced Model 35s is sketchy at best with total quantity unknown. The left side of the slide is marked "Pistole Berette Cal. 7,65.M.35 / S.A. Armaguerra-Cremona-1944". Metal backed plastic "PB" emblem grips, with the late war blue finish. Matching serial number on slide and frame. This exact pistol is photographed on the bottom of page 111 of AXIS PISTOLS by Jan Still.

Excellent. The pistol retains 95% original late war blue finish with some minor edge wear and a smooth brown patina on the grip straps. The grips are excellent with some minor handling marks (mostly on the right panel). Mechanically excellent.
