As for laws being different in 1989--I assume, less strict? Or do you mean more strict?

Back to basics...... The Beretta Model 1934 was the standard Italian Army/Navy/ AF side arm.... from 1934 through WWII..... till 44..... and by the Italian Police for at least another 20 years.
If I had to guess trying to buy a "new" Beretta 1934 in the US in 1966 ...... would have been extremely hard to do........ hard to impossible to find. I bought a Beretta 70-S in .380 off a friend in about 1980; never seen or heard of that Model before that.......Beretta did not become "big" in the US until the M-9/92FS was adopted by the military in 1985 and it appeared in Die Hard and Mel Gibson movie Lethel Weapon.
