The middle one is still blued, and in fairly good condition. The bottom unit has been through the ultrasonic cleaner with just some water and Ballistol. https://s26.postimg.cc/64t28yc7d/0525182144.jpg View Quote I grew up in Italy and I saw those many times over the years, in the hands of Italian Polizia or Carabinieri. I am extremely attached to those and yet, can't have them here in California. Something that bothers me immensely: that's actually my favorite model of Beretta. Congratulations! ETA: damn, unexpected page ownage; reposting an old picture of mine of when I used to live in Italy. I had to sell all of those prior to moving here. Italian Heritage by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

A beautiful collection you had there. Too bad about Commiefornia... I've been cleaning the one I'm keeping for myself up a bit. Ran it through the ultrasonic with heat, water, and Ballistol. A good drying, and oiling and she's feeling good. I also managed to subdue the importer mark a bit. I hit it with a few coats of a Birchwood Casey touchup pen, then cleaned off the excess. Did this a few times and it left the mark much darker. It almost disappears in the right light. Still thinking about grips for it as well as I think the condition of these is the only real detractor at this point.

These (like yours) for me are unobtainable here in CA. It does bother me. Enjoy yours and once again, what a wonderful thing to do for yourself and your loved ones. I do foresee that these will be quite collectable one day. Wait and see. |
