Description

3/25/26 - This is a rare Beretta Model 1915, Beretta's first semi-auto pistol. The Model 1915 came about when Beretta experienced a downturn in shotgun sales and sought to develop new products. Realizing the shortcomings of the then standard Italian military sidearm, the Glisenti 1910, Beretta set about designing a simpler and more robust pistol to sell to the Italian government. The Model 1915 has a number of unique features, some that are familiar even today. This one is all matching and was likely issued to the Royal Italian Army during WWI. They only made about 16,000 of these guns. It has retained roughly 40% of its original bluing with the remaining finish being on both sides of the frame. Spotty oxidation throughout with a couple of small spots of minor pitting on the right side of the slide. Fitted with smooth wood grips and comes with one proper magazine - the base is a little bent but does not affect functionality. The condition of the bore is poor - heavy oxidation and pitting throughout.
