Comments by "ZGryphon" (@ZGryphon) on "Military Trials Beretta 34 - Can You Make it More Walther?" video.
@vrisbrianm4720 Tullio Marengoni had an aesthetic, and he stuck to it. :)

@JoeSixThreeOh Gardone was in the part of Italy that made up the so-called "Italian Social Republic" (the Fascist puppet state set up to pseudo-legitimize German occupation of northern Italy after Mussolini was forced out in '43 and the Badoglio government in Rome surrendered to the Allies), so yeah, pretty much. The area didn't fall under Allied control until May of 1945, after both Hitler and Mussolini were dead.

Hey, neat. I just wrote a little article about Tullio Marengoni and my Beretta 1935 the other day. Do you know if the Models '34 and '35 shared their serial number range? (I'm guessing not, since my '35 is 1941/XIX production with serial 529,000 and some, and I assume they were making more than 4,800 of them a year.)

It's just an odd stamping font. In the early '40s they went to a sans-serif one that was much clearer and easier to read.
