Manufactured in 1957, with attractive scroll, floral and checkerboard engraving patterns covering over 90% of the surface. Fixed sights, with the one-line Beretta address and caliber markings on the left side of the slide, "MADE IN ITALY" on the right, and proofmarks and date on the frame. Fitted with a blued ring hammer, engraved trigger, checkered safety, a pair of smooth gilt metal framed grips with "PB" medallions and a bright polished magazine with gold finished finger extension base. With a brown leather Beretta case, gold barrel rod with detachable wire brush, and a magazine for a 9mm Beretta pistol finished to match.

Excellent, with 90% plus of the original gold, showing some flaking to a smooth gray on the grip straps and trigger guard, mild edge wear and scattered handling marks. The grips are also excellent, with a few light handling marks. The fine original case shows mild scuffing and tearing on the exterior and mild rubbing on the interior. Mechanically excellent.
