The Mod. 101 "New Jaguar" is a 70-Series variant that carried a short-lived 100-Series designation for the U.S. market. This example was manufactured in 1970 and is made in Italy, with Italian proof marks and "MADE IN ITALY" slide legend present.
It wears a 5.9 in (150 mm) target barrel paired with an integral ramped front blade and a fully adjustable rear sight mounted on the barrel.

The blued finish is complemented by black checkered wrap-around grips featuring Beretta PB medallions. Slide markings read "P.B. - MOD 101 - MADE IN ITALY" on one side and "PIETRO BERETTA Gardone V.T. CAL .22 L.R." on the left, with a BERBEN N.Y. N.Y.
