My Beretta 1934 was made in 1984, it's almost new, very reliable, I have the model with the longer barrel, that makes the field strip procedure change from the ones with the short barrel.
I have had two of these, one was a late war one made under German occupation. It has no script just the serial. I also have a Romanian 9 scurt version. These were also made commercially postwar. My 1935 is a postwar made in 1955. I love the pistols, the quirky top extractor makes the brass eject right on your noggin.
Not much of a collector myself, but I always wanted to have something like this as a personal everyday carry. I know there's better, modern firearms out there, but I can't help but appreciate these sorts of classics. Who knows? Maybe when I turn 21, I'll be able to get one myself.
My very first carry gun was a 1934. Not the smartest idea probably, and there were way better choices in 2010, but I'm a huge history nerd and I loved how reliable it is. I still have the gun, though I've gotten smarter about my carry choices. One of the first guns i ever bought myself as well.
Many thanks. Would you care, anytime soon, upload a relatively detailed) video, wherein you would be disassembling it, cleaning / maintaining (mag included) and assembling it again? Coming to think of it, when you obtained it, was it already well maintained and fully functional or did you have to do an overhaul of sorts? Was the mag functional or did have to obtain a new one? It would be very informative and useful (to yours truly, at least), if you could possibly answer and go the the process on video. Many thanks, regardless. Cheers. George from Greece.
I got lucky and this one was in pretty good shape when I got it, though whenever I obtain a firearm the first thing I do is disassemble and clean it. I am planning on doing a full series of complete disassembly and gun care videos on each gun I own in the near future 👍🏻 thanks for watching!
So my M1934 was made in '38 with XVI as fascist date... Army model... The question is however how it made it's way to South Africa, possibly via the North Africa campaign where south african troops were involved in WWII... I am not sure if Italy had troops in North Africa at the time... As I understand it the earliest models were only issued to officers and not the GIs, can you give some feedback on this ?
Lol I know the feeling. I’d come up with a short list (say 2 or 3 each of rifles and pistols) that are in your price range, learn all you can about them, then buy the first good example of one from your list that shows up
One of my favorite milsurp pistols. Hey man if you're ever down in yamhill county. come check out our shop at highline firearms I'd love to talk guns haha.

I have one of these Mussolini Beretta 1934 produced in 1939. They are awesome.

I have several old Beretta pistols, and I can see this one has the same family trait...they all toss brass way, WAY up in the air onto your head. ;)
That is how you correct yourself TomTom great job and nice shootin!
Thank you kindly! I found myself quite amusing lol

Couldn’t say for sure, but Italy was involved in conflict around Tanzania so it could’ve made it’s way from there possibly
Hi mby have any tips for getting into older/milsurp pistols? My main problem is talking myself out of buying them.
Lol I know the feeling. I’d come up with a short list (say 2 or 3 each of rifles and pistols) that are in your price range, learn all you can about them, then buy the first good example of one from your list that shows up
I have a 1934 with onley the serial number starting with 62. Would like to know the year of manufacture.
No Roman numeral?
