New member with questions
I have questions about a pistol I currently own. On one sid eof the slide it has stamped "Berben corporation N.Y.-N.Y.-Mod.70S-patented "and on the other side"Pietro Beretta-Gardone V.T. cal.380-made in Italy". I know what the pistol is, what I'm wondering is the back ground as far as manufacturing
home and possibly time of origin. The serial number isA42286Y. Does the numbering indicate the year 1986? Any help will be appreciated. |

You need to find the proof mark, which is separate from the SN.

Beretta's Identification
Thanks Chipperman for the info. The chart showed that my pistol was made in 1982.
