Need some help on an older Beretta...

The 1934 is identical, just in 380 rather than 32.

I collect third Reich pistols . Many of these were used by the nazis and their allies during WWII. Many remained unmarked while others have marks. People who collect these sort of firearms do not pay for a story unless you have paperwork. Go on just the merit of the firearm. That being said : that is a fantastic example . It is a great shape . Someone loved it and cared for it . Very cool piece !

Here is the info you seek. Everything you need is right here . You cannot collect these things without Jan’s bible:

In Mogadishu I picked up an FN Hi Power that had Waffenamt/Nazi markings on it. If that thing could talk.

Is this what you meant by the papers?

To a collector, that’s provenance that adds greatly to the value.

Great. He would never sell it but I think he wants an insurance value.

Any ideas??

Yes! That tells you a story that can be verified . Now we can take that info and research his service records . Then it takes off from there.

As for value I’d say around 2k insurance value . My State Farm personal articles floater covers replacement cost . A pistol in the condition it’s in with the holster and paper will cost you at least that . You have the best looking example I’ve seen in a while
