Hi all,
Here are some pics of a Beretta I snagged at a gunshow yesterday. It's a M1934 ,in .380, made in 1940 and bearing commercial proofmarks rather than military. It was sold by Beretta to the German firm of Gunter Genschow where it was stamped with their "Geco" logo and marketed through their stores in Germany. It's hard to find wartime commercial Berettas and even harder to find them marked by foreign retailers.
