Built with a single-action, straight blowback action, this Modello 1935 reflects the practical service-pistol design Beretta is known for. The compact size and 3.38-inch barrel keep the package streamlined while retaining the classic handling characteristics of the model.
The pistol is configured with fixed iron sights, using an integral front blade and a rear notch. A frame-mounted manual safety on the left side provides a simple, period-correct control layout.
Cosmetically, it wears a blued finish on both the steel frame and the open-top slide. The exposed ring/holed hammer is paired with black grip panels featuring the Beretta medallion/monogram, retained by grip screws.
Markings are a highlight on this example. In addition to the Beretta slide legend, the frame shows Italian proof/inspection stamps (not fully legible), and the "19 41" date stamp on the barrel/chamber area confirms 1941 production.
