Description
This lot features a Bersa Thunder 380 semi-automatic pistol chambered in .380 ACP, configured for concealed carry or personal defense. The firearm features a dual-tone aesthetic with a matte black blued steel slide paired with a silver-finished alloy frame. The pistol is currently fitted with aftermarket smooth brown wood or wood-laminate grips, showing some visible adhesive or finish wear at the top of the left panel. Key markings include the model designation THUNDER 380 on the left side of the slide, while the right side is marked BERSA S.A. CAL 380 ACP RAMOS MEJIA-ARGENTINA and IMPORTED BY BERSA USA LLC CARTERSVILLE GA. The serial number N64527 is present on both the slide and the frame. The handgun is equipped with a 3.5-inch barrel, a manual safety/decocker, and a three-dot sighting system. This cased lot includes a verified total of three 8-round single-stack magazines marked MADE IN ITALY, a set of factory black checkered polymer grips with the Bersa logo, a black Sticky brand holster, the original blue polymer factory case, and an instruction manual. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol displays moderate signs of handling and use. The blued finish on the slide shows surface scratches and thinning, particularly along the sharp edges and muzzle area, with some light grime accumulation in the slide serrations and around the hammer. The silver frame finish remains largely intact with minor handling marks. The bore is bright with strong, defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly through manual cycling, and the trigger pull is crisp in both double and single action. The wood grips are solid but show topical wear and adhesive residue near the slide; the extra polymer grips are in very good condition. The factory case and accessories show light wear consistent with storage.
