Armi Beretta SpA of Gardone Val Trompia has a history in firearms manufacturing reaching back to 1526, when they were established as a maker of barrels. But it was not until 1915 that, responding to the needs of the military during World War I, they produced their first pistol, the model 1915. Beretta has become one of the world's largest pistol makers and the model 1934 (M1934) was their most numerous product in the World War II era. It was designed and purpose-built for the Italian armed forces. In the early 1930s, the Italian army was impressed by the Walther PP pistol. Beretta did not want to lose a big military contract to their German competitor and designed the M1934 for the Italian Army which accepted it in 1937. This model was followed by the M1935, which was similar to the M1934 in most respects, except that it fired a .32 ACP (7.65 mm Browning) cartridge. Pistols made during the Fascist Era are marked with their year of manufacture in two forms: the conventional Julian date in Arabic numerals and the date in the Fascist Era in Roman numerals. The Fascist calendar commenced on 28 October 1922, so a pistol from 1937 may carry either "XV" or "XVI" as its Fascist year. Pistols taken by the armed forces usually exhibit acceptance marks stamped into the frame on the left just above the grip: "RE" (Regio Esercito) for the army, "RM" (Regia Marina) for the navy, or "RA" (Regia Aeronautica) for the Air Force, always in the form of an Eagle wearing a Royal Crown for the Royal air force. Police pistols may be marked "PS" (Pubblica Sicurezza). The Romanian military, at the time an Axis power, also purchased model 1934 (and 1935) pistols. The calibre marking appears as 9 mm Scurt (short in Romanian) rather than 9 mm Corto. Romanian Army M1934's differ from Italian M1934's in that the Romanian pistols use the Russian sight picture, where the Italian pistols use the standard sight picture used by Western armies. An M1934, serial number 606824, was used by Nathuram Godse in the 1948 assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. The pistol, manufactured in 1934, was carried by an officer during Italy's invasion of Abyssinia and subsequently taken by a British officer as a war trophy. It is not known how it came to India, but Godse was given the unlicensed firearm by a co-conspirator. - Навчання та стиль

Thanks for posting. I inherited one of these when my dad died. Now I can take it apart and clean it!
That damn Beretta. Lol! They make good guns.
My Dad brought one home from WWII that he got from an Italian pow. Had the holster and all. Was in pristine condition. We had fun with it at the range. My Dad ended up selling it much to my disappointment.
You are amazing. I have a 1934 Brevet I inherited from my dad. I watched your video, pausing it as I went through, as I cleaned it. Thank you so much. I did not want to go shoot it until I knew it was clean. I am getting some Strike Hold, but for now I used One Shot Cleaner & Dry Lube I got from my local gun store. They said it would do the same thing. Thank you so much for your videos. I am subscribing after I finish this comment, because there are others I need to learn to clean.
Thanks, I needed that. Just inherited up my own, sans holster, with two mags and it hasn't had a cleaning since 1946 (according to gramps).
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing. My father left me one of these handguns, that was manufactured in 1957, and is in mint condition. Having only used S&W and Glock handguns, Baretta's were unfamiliar to me. Your tutorial was a big help to me! I only wish there was a way to either change out or modify the trigger to make it either wider or flatter. Being so narrow and having such a strong trigger pull it hurts my badly arthritic finger when firing it.
I have a model 1935 which was made in 1940 which is basically the same except for the caliber which is .32. This is a very good tutorial on a simple and reliable firearm. There must be thousands of these old berettas which are still working.

Amazing tutorial. Thank you
Excellent and thorough review on a most excellent handgun. She's all cleaned up and good as new. Peace
You make it appear as though the model designation is ‘Gardone’. It is a Beretta model 1934. The Beretta plant is in the town of Gardone, VT. Italy.
I like the way you make it easy
Great presentation! I'm always on the lookout for a nice vintage Beretta .380 except i don't always have a spare $450-$650 just sitting around. Nice pistol. 👍😎
Thank you
Beretta 🏆🥇🔝
Nice video
Good video
I believe hearing that like a Lugar this pistol 🔫 was a must grab for US service guys.
Really nice pistol. You also turned me on to Strikehold.
Happy to hear that
Ballistol is also excellent and non toxic. Makes parts silky smooth. But smells like hELL.
Thanks bro! I have one kf these but it's silver(chrome? Nickel?) I wonder what branch mine was?
Hello, My Friend asked me to clean one of these for him. It hasn't been cleaned in decades probably and has some surface rust but overall seems to be in good condition. It looks identical to the one you use in the video but is dated 1958. Your video has been very helpful in getting this field stripped and cleaned. I'd like to disassemble the frame just a little more to clean it in more detail. It doesn't look like this would be hard to do but was wondering if you know of a good video that details the frame disassembly.
As one is buying a”as is” item, what devaluation occurs with unmatched serial number.?
Mine has a longer barrel, and it doesn´t go out with this method, advice please.
is the 1934 and 1935 recoil spring the same part?
I have same one but it looks so new
How I can know it’s original beretta or not
Can yo help me in that
Thank you
Hey Alan, i had a question about one of these guns and i was wondering if you had a email where i could send some pics? thank you for your time.
It's not a whole lot of information in the gun books for sure, nor online. I too am trying to find out info (value) of my nickel or chrome finished 1934 made in 42....its an Italian Army one.
Hi. Great video!!! I have one that I have had a very hard time finding any information on. Mine is the Beretta 1934 but it is Nickel or Chrome with PB on the Black grips. It has the following engraved on left side " P. Beretta cal. 9 Corto-M-1934-Brevet Gardone V.T. 1942 XX " BG on side of mag release. This pistol is in excellent condition. I just can't find any good information on it. It's definitely not the standard 1934 and it doesn't have gold engraving so I get conflicting information about it and its value. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
9 corto stand for short 9mm bullet,or 380acp.marks on the side means 1934 is year of start production gun,,and 1942 menas its produced that year,and numeral number are for fasist years.musollini calendar start 20.10.1922 and that roman number menas that your gun is produce in 1942.PB stand for pietrro beretta.fother of the gun
@Vedran Causevic thanks for that information. I know the RE stands for Italian Army. The BG at very bottom of grip , near mag release ...I haven't figured that out or the value. Someone told me it was just standard issue but unsure about that? I read somewhere in a book and was told by an old timer that the nickel or chrome like finish was not a standard issue because of the "mirror-like" affect. He explained that the Italian Army wouldn't be carrying mirrors around in battle?? That makes sense to me but I'm no collector. I have seen and read about very similar finished ones that were special editions that were engraved in gold writing & designs.
The old man went on to tell me that he thought and was sure he had read that the style I had was issued to the Italian Army but to very high rank officers and to what would be our (USA) Military Police, MP's? Its been very difficult to find even a picture of one like mine in a gun book or reading online. I thought it was of high value but I could be wrong, it may be no more valuable than the standard blued/black finish Beretta 1934 's. I wish I knew....lol. I don't want to shoot it a lot and make the value go down. I've only shot maybe 50 rounds. If you can find anything, please let me know or send a link. I have pictures of articles and pics of pages in books but none sound identical, just the standard and the chrome & gold. I've owned it for 20yrs and kept it in a case. I was going to try to sell to a collector or trade for a couple newer style 9mm or other pistols. I think now that I will just keep it and buy a 9mm that fits my big hands but heavy...any suggestions? Thanks again and stay safe.
There is a zipper under the trigger, I can't fit it, can we communicate?
