Exactly which Beretta .25 Fleming was referring to was never really confirmed. There was the old model 1919 around, but in the early 1950's, the 318 and 418 were the most plentiful and common. However, the little 950 had already been on the scene, and it COULD have been the one. Would Bond have clung to the Beretta that dates back to him as a younger man (in 1953, Bond might have been 30-35 years old as a "commander" at the end of WWII, and the Beretta 1919 or 318 would have been around), or opted for the latest thing (950)? The first book, Casino Royale, was published in 1953. We're going to have to did up Fleming, and get a medium.
