WED AUG 6, ULTRA RARE WAFFENAMTED LATE WAR MODEL 1935 BERETTA PISTOL, BLANK SLIDE, NAZI 4UT MARKED & “CAL 7.65 MARKED, MINT!

In 98% mint crisp condition, we have a very, very rare, Waffenamted late war Blank Slide Beretta Model 1935 pistol in 7.65/.32 auto.  only the frame bears a serial number and it is also marked “CAL 7.65” bore is mint and I am not sure it’s ever even been shot.  These late war pistols are said to have been issued to the Volkstrom at the end of the war.  This is a top example of a very tough to locate variant.  

This pistol is double German marked, both the 4UT marking and a partially struck WaA162 proof.  These pistols are pictured and discussed in Ugo Menchini’s Beretta book.  There are few known to exist and it is thought that they belong to a small group that were re-inspected for some reason.  Probably the rarest WWII era Beretta pistol there is.
