After studying the book and your gun, I think the book is wrong. Your's was made for the American market since it is labeled a Jaguar on the grip. The Model 74 is the same as the Model 73 but with a fully adjustable rear sight. It has fixed sights with both attached to the barrel. ![]() The Model 73 is a longer grip frame gun with the long barrel only. The Model 72 is the same gun with both barrels. The Model 71 is the same gun with the long barrel. ![]() The Model 70 has the rear sight attached to the frame and a short barrel per his description as does yours. It has a picture of your pistol on page 124 and has it labeled a Model 70. I 'm quoting from Beretta Automatic Pistols by J. We have also seen markings where roman and numerical figures are combined, for example XX, XX and XX.ġ972 XX8 or XXIII (though I think maybe it's a typo and should be XXVIII to stay consistent with the Roman numerals, Photoman12001)Ĭlick to expand.Then somebody is wrong somewhere. The following information was copied from the website linked above: I was able to verify these date codes via this webpage at the Beretta USA website. Does this seem correct? Mine is marked XVII making it a 1961 pistol if this list is right. I wasn't having a lot of luck finding date codes but Google finally gave me something on Facebook of all places. Today I stumbled across what I think was a great deal on an almost-new-in-box Model 71.
