I was stationed in Italy while serving in the US Air Force, in 1984-85. While there I purchaced a Beretta pistol, the 30 lugar as mention above.
It was new at the time of purchace and never fired until I returned to the US. I gave this pistol to my brother never really to be seen again. He recently passed away and his wife returned the pistol to me this week. I can't find any info on this model on-line. I spoke to Beretta USA today, they found a tidbit of info on the model, but since it was only made in Italy, they couldn't help too much. Here is the information and markings on the pistol if anyone could be of any help. I don't want to sell, but would like to know it's value for insurance purposes.
right side of firearm markings; PB Patented-Cal.7.65 Parabellum
MOD 99-CAT.3571
(right trigger guard) AM
left side of firearm markings; PIETRO BERETTA GARDONE V.T. - MADE IN ITALY
SERIEL # A09224X
I was told at time of purchace and today by Beretta USA, the 30 lugar Parabellum barrel was interchangeable with the 9m Parabellum
