Brazilian Beretta 92

hntntrk · December 12, 2006, 04:31 PM

Hello All,

I recently picked up a Beretta model 92 I can't seem to find to much info on and was wondering if anyone may know more about them. It is marked as follows:

Left side of slide marked - Pist Mod 92 Cal 9 para Beretta
Left side of frame - serial # 076xx Brazil
Right side of frame - Inter-American SAC'TO, CA.

Pistol came in a yellow and white Beretta box marked: PISTOLA SEMI-AUTOMATICA MOD.92 CAL. 9mm "PARABELLUM" DUPLA ACAO SERIE 92 DOUBLE ACTION

Also came w/operators instructions and 1 15 rd mag.

Thank You,

Okiehunter

Sounds like a Beretta that was made in the Brazian factory before it ws sold to Taurus.

Taurus before it was called a Taurus. Beretta originally setup a factory in Brazil to make 92s for a gov't contract. When the contract ran out Taurus bought the factory and the rights to manufacture the 92. I was not aware that they were ever imported as Beretta into the U.S.

Thanks ranburr!

I knew about Beretta and the military contract but like you never knew of or had seen a Berette 92 imported that was made in Brazil.

I was hoping someone might know about the importer, when they were imported, quantities, value, stuff like that.

Always fun to learn something new about guns.

Okie
