I came across a Beretta 85F the other day in the box with two magazines. There is a very small pin head size chip in the finish on the forward portion of the slide so it’s not mint, but it appears to be unfired. It won’t stay that way for long.
It’s the single stack 8 round version of the 84, also in .380 ACP.
The “AZ” date code places it in 1990, right at the end of the short F production (1988-1990). The subsequent FS modified the decocker lever so that it could not stop half way between positions. The F was the first variant to include the squared off trigger guard, Bruniton finish and the decocker lever.
