Deactivated Beretta Model 1923 Pistol SN. 2183 *

Deactivated Rare Beretta Model 1923 9mm Glisenti Calibre Pistol in good deactivated condition. Latest EU Spec, so full moving parts, but non firing action. The Beretta Model 1923 entered service in 1923 and was the official military replacement for the earlier Model 1919 pistol and served both the Italian police and military until the end of WWII. They are capable of firing the 9mm Parabellum round, but may explode. Quite a few German and allied soldiers found this out the hard way in WWII! Like all Beretta products of the era, its fit and finish is top notch, and it is easy to see why so many lasted until well after the end of the war. All deactivated weapons sold by D and B Militaria are deactivated in the United Kingdom and hold London or Birmingham proof marks and a certificate stating that the weapon has been deactivated correctly.
