I picked up a Beretta 12 ga boxlock at a small local gunshow earlier this summer. It has a cross bolt with an additional bite and sideclips, monoblock costuction with Krupp barrels. 1942 date stamp and the serial number is 71, xxx about 2400 lower than the gun shown earlier. There are some stamps in the wood of the forend that look to be a 3 with an upside down V after it. Good quality game scene and scroll engraving. Nice gun that needs some TLC to remove some light rust problems. It sure appears that Beretta was making shotguns during the war.
