After WWII the Italian Government was given and used many thousands M1 Garand rifles as their standard service rifle. In the late 1950s the company of Beretta was awarded a contract by the Italian Government to manufacture new M1 Garand rifles for foreign military sales, specifically for the country of Denmark. The heel of the receiver is marked with the Danish "Crown/FKF/Nr./PB5090" and the left side is marked "BERETTA-ARMI/ROMA-ITALIA". The barrel is unmarked, while the remainder of the parts are a mix of U.S. GI WWII parts with a stamped trigger guard and a late Springfield Armory NM marked operating rod. It is fitted with a set of post war rear sights and a wide base gas cylinder with the "M" marked gas cylinder lock. It is fitted with a set of new production walnut stock and handguards that are without any proofs. It is complete with a chamber brush/bolt disassembly tool.

Very fine as refurbished and rebuilt with 99% of a dark gray parkerized finish overall. The stock and handguards are all in excellent condition with no visible handling marks. A fine Beretta manufactured M1 Garand rifle.
