So my in-laws are migrating to Florida finally and I am helping pack and they suddenly exclaim, "Hey, you like guns right? What's this?"
Out comes this old Beretta that has been kept in a sock for 60+ years.
She swears up and down . . . "I was told it was a Luger!, and its a .22 cal!"
She was ignored as usual and I did a little research and discovered it was a 1935 Beretta in .32 ACP. Anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone knew a little more about them, value and who and where or IF they were issued to Axis at all. I doubt it was actually a war trophy bring back and assume it may be something her father just acquired during his tour.
Just wanted a little info, any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Here's some pictures, hope they help.
