hookbones Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 having just been asked to date an Italian gun i thought id add this table to the forum for the benefit of all who want to know <note that in 1944 no guns were dated> During the years 1935-1943, before the National code system was enacted, some Berettas were marked with the Roman numerals XIII (1935) through XXI (1943). Guns bearing those Roman numerals may need additional evidence to establish the year of manufacture.This table covers most manufactures that are completely or in part owned by Beretta so the majority of Italian firearms can be dated by using the above.. It is not clear when firearms by Italian manufacturers other than Beretta began to be marked with date codes - it may have been as late as 1954, with Roman numeral X. hope this is of use to someone ,steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
