Beretta 1915 in 7.65

[Gustaf B]

I picked up a decent Beretta M1915 in .32 ACP rather cheap, because it lacked the magazine. I thought I had a correct mag for it, but sadly, the top cartridge is a bit low for the slide to pick it up.
Does anyone have a photo of the correct holster for this pistol (I normally get the holster first, but I thought I would make things hard for a change)

It looks as though the safety is from a newer model.

Yes, the safety is for a Mod. 1934/35, this is the correct one and this is the holster for your gun.

[kanister]

Can you post a picture of your magazine?

The correct name for your gun is "Brevetto 1915, Model 1917". Your pistol brings # 58xxx so was made in 1919, PS in oval is an inspector marking.

Hey Kanister,
Thank you for the great information, I do not have a photo of the magazine, but it is actually a magazine for a Frommer STOP that had a bit of machining to the back where the catch fits. but it is a bit too short. The correct magazine is easy to recognize, so I will keep my eyes open at gun shows. I recently saw a holster for sale, but it had the flap removed. I collect WWI uniforms and weapons, and this will be a nice addition.

This is currently the only Italian handgun that I have in my display
