sitsinhedges Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Does anyone know what the age of a Beretta 391 Urika with a serial number prefix of AA is and what it is worth boxed in fair condition set of chokes etc, not mint but pretty good. I assume the number prefix is what denotes the year of manufacture Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I have just noticed that it has BN stamped inside a little box next to the proof marks on the barrel. I first thought this may be some kind of nitro proof mark but it seems it may denote the gun was made in 1999 unless anyone knows differently. Beretta denotes AA as being 1974 and I can't see how it could possibly be that old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi mate, this info was taken off another forum, so I can't vouch for it's accuracy! If you look just forward of the trigger guard, there will be a different number. Mine is BS****, so is 2002... BM=1999 BN=2000 BP=2001 BS=2002 BT=2003 BU=2004 BZ=2005 CA=2006 CB=2007.

Seems like this one is 2000 then Any idea of its value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I paid £500 for mine S/H in decent nick, boxed with 3 chokes and most of the rest of the factory std stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saggy61 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I got mine about 3 months ago in near mint condition boxed with 5 extended chokes 30" barrels and a 3 " magnum it was on the shelf for £850 but managed to knock them down to £600 and it has a BT code so looking at the previous post that makes it a 2003 model, I find it to be right little clay spanker but yet to have a good day in the field, hopefully this weekend will be a good test for it..

sambu13 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 What shop was that? gorgeous looking gun, id snap that up at that price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 mine is surprisingly a 2001 model bought in 2001!! best £550 I ever spent had many many thousands of rounds through it still going strong, it only ever plays up if I go mad with the oil after cleaning, a bath in diesel keeps the bright bits bright and the moving bits moving I will buy another the day this one dies (it will probably see me out first) KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saggy61 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi the shop was J.F. Neville Guns in Alfreton Derby, Cracking lot of chaps there they will look after you very well indeed I have been back a few times since I got this little cracker and they always ask how I’m getting on with it... They have a very large stock of guns in store too. Since I got my 391 my mate now wants one and I haven’t seen one in the same condition as mine for under £1,000. What shop was that? gorgeous looking gun, id snap that up at that price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
