[Berettamen]

I might question if this pistol has the original finish. A few clues: The red dot under the safety is missing. And the Crown/RE on left tang looks to have also rust damages under this layer of blue. Or is that grease-oil smears? There are other areas of concern as well. Just enough that I would request more images if I were bidding. As to the value ?? Perhaps $600-$800 today would not surprise me, and more if a closer look was allowed. There are many offered in this serial range with minimal wear making the competition pretty stiff in the $1000 range.

I apologize if I over stepped your RFI.

The magazine release can be a struggle. I'd place this as a 1943 production based on serial nr. and other features.
