The left side of the slide has the legend: "P. BERETTA-CAL. 9 COROTO Mo 1934-BREVET. / GARDONE V.T. 1942 XX". The left side of the trigger guard has a boxed "SA", indicating that this Finnish Civil Guard pistol was transferred to the Finnish Army. Matching serial number on slide and frame.

Very fine. The pistol retains 80% original blue finish with some mild edge wear and some fine scratches on the frame. The back strap has a smooth gray patina, with the front grip strap thinning to a brown patina. The grips are excellent with the exception of a few mild handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
