original receipt Feb 11 1947 written in Italian purchased for L. 9000. need to convert that yet .yellow paper is just the translation of the older piece of paper .It was a purchase between U.S. Marshall and the American LA VOJ Pierre Joseph is the purchaser .I do not really have a good library for the Beretta. I was told the model 1922 was originally nickel ed when Pierre Joseph purchased it cant find anything that verifies that. The other thing is the PB on grips is at the top of the grip all other 1922 I've found the PB is on the bottom of the grip.Any hep would be appreciated.

You might be able to tell by looking in the mag well and underneath the slide.
Chances are pretty high it's plated though, that was what all the cool kids were doing right after the war.
BTW - just noticed some of the other cool stuff in the cases (Steyr-Hahn, C96, P08 etc).
What shop?

Grips should be wood if I'm not mistaken. You didn't see metal or plastics until after the twenties with Beretta autos. Would die to find a nice Model 1923 with naval property markings for anything less than $1k.

I always get confused over the differences between the early 1915, 1917, 1919 and 1922 models. Usually see the older Berettas with wood grips, later models manuf. in the 20s with metal, occasionally wood. You didn't see Beretta using synthetic grips until the 30s.
Have never had any luck finding an early Beretta auto in VG condition. Most I see have led a hard life. And the low production volume Model 1923 in 9mm Glisenti is the white whale of early Berettas. Rare and pricey.
