Description

This lot features a Pietro Beretta Model 86 Cheetah semi-automatic pistol chambered in .380 Auto (9mm Short). Manufactured in Italy, this firearm is constructed with a blued steel slide and barrel on a matte black alloy frame, complemented by checkered walnut grips inset with brass Beretta medallions. The Model 86 is highly regarded for its distinct tip-up barrel design, which allows the user to load a round directly into the chamber without retracting the slide, making it an ideal choice for those who find standard slide operation difficult. Markings on the slide include PIETRO BERETTA GARDONE V.T. – MADE IN ITALY and PATENTED BERETTA USA CORP. ACKK. MD. The frame is marked FS 86 CHEETAH – CAL. 9 Short along with the serial number G13195Y. Proof marks including PSF and the date code BS are visible, dating the manufacture of this piece to 2002. The pistol is accompanied by its original blue plastic Beretta hard case and three magazines. All firearm sales must comply with federal, state, and local regulations. Barrel length: 4.4 inches. Overall length: 7.3 inches.
