My first post on this forum and heres the reason. I have a wwII era beretta with these markings.
P.Beretta-cal 7.65-Brevettata Gardone V.T 1940 XIX. This is on the left side of the slide.Right side is the SN 461579, also on the frame and the last 4 digits are also on the barrel. On the left side of the frame below the hammer is a crown and an eagle, I believe,in flight, kinda reminds you of the budweiser eagle. I know that this shoots 32 acp,has an 8rnd magazine and the XIX means the nineteenth year of the Fascist era. I can't figure out the Crown and Eagle. I see no other markings so hope you guys can help. I'd say the pistol is 80 to 90 percent with the original holster with the markings P.P.R. I believe, last letter is hard to read. Hope you can help and thanks.
