Not sure if this needs to be here or the German forum

AA Serial number

a good shooter

You know it’s Italian, not German.

That’s why it’s in the Italian forum, the AA and BB serial number pistols were manufactured by Beretta, under the Italian Socialist Republic, after Italy capitulated in 1943,

 

a lot of these pistols were sent directly to German units, hence why I might have posted on the German thread…

Ok I got it. Underrated little gun. A friend’s father brought one home from WW2. The funny thing is that he was stationed in the South Pacific.

Would interesting to find out how he came about the pistol… maybe some entrepreneurial transport pilot

Sadly, like most WW2 vets, he is gone with all his secrets.

My dad had one of those pistols when he was in the Navy in Europe. He bought it from one of his shipmates who was transferring out.

When the war in Europe ended he sailed to Cold Harbor Alaska for "Operation Hula" Just before he was to ship out to Bremerton Wa.

The pistol was stolen out of the radio shack desk drawer he kept it in. Sailors that took part in Hula for the most part went to the Pacific.

I suspect that is where his ended up.
