I have not seen that before. It might even be true.

The only marks are a nearly obliterated "Crown" under the loading gate, the number 210 between the loading gate pivot and right stock, an N on the frame face below the base pin, an assembly number 502 in several places, a small 1 and a "lazy" 9 or maybe lower case g on the bottom barrel flat. And, of course the "V.Bernardelli/Gardone/Modif. 1932 on the left side of the frame where yours is marked. There are a few other stamps internally including an oval "Cartouche" with the letters RY or BY. There is a 3787 inside the sideplate, and 3781 on the mainspring support, probably an error since the 502 is on every part including the stocks.
Other than these there is absolutely nothing to indicate manufacturer or country of origin.

It looks sufficiently identified to me. Manufactured by Bernardelli in Gardone, Val Trompia, Italy.
Thuer,
You
do have that translated into English, don't you?
Maybe Dutch? Thanks much for the link.
