Description

This Beretta Model 3032 Tomcat is a compact semi-automatic pistol chambered in .32 Auto (7.65mm), a design well-regarded for its unique tip-up barrel feature that allows for loading without racking the slide. The pistol is equipped with a 2.25-inch barrel and a blued finish on the slide, paired with black checkered polymer grips that prominently display the Beretta Trident logo. Key markings on the left side of the slide include the PB logo in a circle followed by 3032 TOMCAT-32 AUTO MADE IN USA and BERETTA U.S.A. CORP. ACCOKEEK, MD. The left side of the frame is stamped with serial number DAA419709. The right side of the slide serves as a safety warning, stating WARNING: READ MANUAL BEFORE USE. RETRACT SLIDE TO SEE IF LOADED. FIRES WITHOUT MAGAZINE. Additional features include a manual thumb safety on the left side of the frame and a frame-mounted magazine release button located near the trigger guard. This lot includes one 7-round detachable box magazine featuring a finger-rest base plate. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The pistol displays a blued finish showing moderate signs of use, including holster wear on the high edges of the slide and some minor surface scratches on the frame. Light oxidation and minor rust spots are visible on the grip screws and the rear sight. The black polymer grips are well-preserved with sharp checkering. The bore is bright with well-defined rifling. Mechanical function has not been independently verified, but the action appears to operate smoothly.
