All firearms made in Italy are required by law to be tested by the Government Proof House, which marks the firearm with several symbols, one of which is a code identifying the year in which the firearm was proofed. A key to the code is shown below. Note: The date code is not a part of the serial number. Read the paragraph below to learn where to find the date code.
In recent years the two-letter code has usually been enclosed in a rectangle. On shotguns, the mark is usually found on the bottom of the barrel. It may be necessary to remove the forearm, and sometimes to remove the barrels from the receiver, in order to expose the mark. I have also seen the date code on the bottom of the frame (receiver) of a semi-automatic, but I have never seen it on the receiver of a break-action gun. On recent pistols the mark is usually located on the frame near the trigger guard, and for older pistols the mark is on the slide or on the frame behind the grip area. In some cases the actual date in Arabic numerals may be used, or a combination of Roman and Arabic numerals. For example, 1972 is usually represented by XXVIII, but in a few cases it may be written XX8 or as 1972.
Also, during the years 1945-1953, some Berettas may be marked with Arabic numbers 1-9 rather than Roman numerals I-IX. During the years 1935-1943, before the National code system was enacted, some Berettas were marked with the Roman numerals XIII (1935) through XXI (1943).
Thus, guns bearing those Roman numerals may need additional evidence to establish the year of manufacture. Beretta used no date code in 1944. It is not clear to me when firearms by Italian manufacturers other than Beretta began to be marked with date codes - it may have been as late as 1954, with Roman numeral X.

Update: (This was originally posted in 2006.) CD - 2009 CF - 2010 CH - 2011 CI - 2012 Second update - 2/10/2014 CL - 2013 CM - 2014 GUNS MADE IN THE USA: The date codes above apply only to guns made in Italy. For guns made since 1988 in the USA by Beretta USA, the date can be traced by the serial number. I understand that the manufacture year is marked with 2 letters before the serial number. It says near the top of this post, the code for year of manufacture is not part of the serial number.
The two-letter code that tells year of manufacture is not related to the serial number at all. Beretta may have records that make it possible to determine the exact date of manufacture from the serial number, but as far as I know that information is not available to the public. If they do have such records, you would have to contact them, give them the serial number, and ask them to look it up. I don't know whether they will do that or not.

What type of nail gun should I buy to replace the boards in my wooden fence? Some kids are constantly breaking the wooden boards (about 6 feet tall and an inch or so thick) of our fence. It's ongoing and we are constantly replacing the boards.
We'd like to purchase a nail gun (hopefully inexpensive) that is versatile enough for this and light use around the house (i.e. Putting up crown molding). Also, we've seen combo staple/nail guns on-line. Is it possible that this type of gun could be used to fix the fence?
If you think you should be posting on a shotgun enthusiast site to garner advice about which nail gun to purchase, I suggest you forget about even touching a nail gun. In fact, you might not even be qualified to use a hammer. If you do buy a hammer, be sure to read the instructions first, but most importantly, keep your palm on the handle and your eyes on the nail.

Okay maybe someone will read this and help me out.being a curious sort of cat I drug out my 16ga PB 409.well there ain't nothin like a Roman numeral anywhere.but there is 1952 on the watertable (quite clear but very fine line).okay.sos I drag out my 12ga 410E and again there ain't no Roman numerals anywhere.but there is 1949 (fine line) on the watertable.okay.so I'm thinkin either youse guys is nuts or my ol Gardone special garlic eaters got past the proof dater.ain't it?. So I pull another newer 12ga 409E out and lo and behold there they are. Slicker n snot on a doorknob XVI (1960 according to you guys) and no fine line 'might be a date' numerals.okay.but wheres' that leave my two orphink side by twixtes?.they could'nt be decsribed as pistols. Are the Arabic numerals dates?.and does it all mean these guns are just Junior Varsity wannabes?hurry up guys I'm going hunting monday and I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna bench these bums for deceiving me and take the Japs and the Germans out on the field off their normal schedule.or just fine the Itieys for conduct unbecomming.Art 'Everyone think like me, Everyone want my woman' Chingachgook (The Great Serpent) On differences of opinion.

Okay.but wheres' that leave my two orphink side by twixtes?.they could'nt be decsribed as pistols. Are the Arabic numerals dates?. The original post says: 'In some cases, especially on older pistols, the actual date in Arabic numerals may be used.' Note that it does not say only on pistols. I don't doubt that the Arabic numerals on your guns are in fact the years of manufacture.

Just picked up a new to me Beretta 92F yesterday! Got home and am already planning on doing a few things to it. I want to find a pair of original Beretta grips to put on it. Right now it has the Hogue wrap around and I do not care for it to much. Need to add a few mags, then take it out to shoot it! Still trying to figure how to date it as it is an Italian made 92F.
Love this gun already! Will the grips for a 92fs work for my 92f? Have not found an answer yet using my googlfu. Serial number BER01xxx0 Z. Beretta firearms produced in Italy carry a proof mark for the year of production.
The chart below is used to identify the year by this mark. For recent pistols this mark is usually located on the frame near the trigger guard, for older pistols, the mark is on the slide or on the frame behind the grip area.
Shotguns have this mark stamped on the barrel near the chamber. You may need to remove the barrel to read the mark. On some older firearms, produced between 1925 to1954, the actual date was stamped instead of a code mark. In this case the date can be located near the test proof marks on the frame.
The exception to this occured during the regime of Benito Mussolini. The Italian Proof House used a roman numeral system marking the year of his reign which began with 'I' in 1922. The first Beretta firearm using this dating system was the Model 1934 pistol (introduced in 1935), thus the year was indicated as XIII (usually marked on the slide) and refering to the 13th year of Mussolini's regime.
This practice ended in 1945 with XXIII at the close of World War Two and the chart below takes up from that point. It should be noted that some wartime production firearms were void of any marking to indicate the production date. We have also seen markings where roman and numerical figures are combined, for example XX7 for 1971, XX8 for 1972 and XX9 for 1973. Just picked up a new to me Beretta 92F yesterday!

Have not found an answer yet using my googlfu. Serial number BER01xxx0 Z Nice long post with date codes that unfortunately won't help you. You give the serial number starting with 'BER' which is a USA serial number. Go here and enter your number, using all caps and no spaces. By the way, the 'Z' at the end of the serial number indicates an Italian made bare frame that was sent to Beretta USA for them to build the pistol around using USA parts. The Italians are not like ATF that consider a bare frame to be a firearm, so they don't have to be proof checked as would a completed frame.
If the slide is marked 'MADE IN ITALY' you have a pistol that was put together using parts from at least two donors. If you can post a couple of pictures it would be greatly appreciated. And yes, the 92FS grips will work on a 92F but not the other way around without slight modification for the enlarged hammer pin head. Just picked up a new to me Beretta 92F yesterday!

Right now it has the Hogue wrap around and I do not care for it to much. Need to add a few mags, then take it out to shoot it! Still trying to figure how to date it as it is an Italian made 92F. Love this gun already! Will the grips for a 92fs work for my 92f?
Have not found an answer yet using my googlfu. Serial number BER01xxx0 Z Congrats on the 92F i'm sure you'll like it. For grips you might want to google CDNN and check their catalog they usually always have a lot of grips for different guns.
I purchased my Beretta Mod. 92F when they became available to the public many years ago, just after the Military adoped the pistol. The serial number is DO1625Z and it has a steel frame and possibly stainless steel. It has Made in Italy on the right side and has Beretta USA on the left.
It's new and not fired. I have searched the internet and found 'The Handgun Forum', but did not find the answer to my question. On some of the older forums others were having problems with the dates of manufacturing too!
I would appreciate any later info on this model!!
