Description taken from Wikipedia regarding the inspiration of this replica from Western Arms which eHobby Asia is retailing the silver version for US$245.00... "'Armi Beretta SpA of Gardone Val Trompia has a history in firearms manufacturing reaching back to 1526, when they were established as a maker of barrels. But it was not until 1915 that, responding to the needs of the military during World War I, they produced their first pistol, the model 1915. Beretta has become one of the world's largest pistol makers and the model 1934 (M1934) was their most numerous product in the pre-World War II era.

As a footnote in the weapon's long history, an M1934 was used in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi in New Delhi, India on 30 January 1948. The pistol, serial number 606824, was wielded by Nathuram Godse in the assassination. It was also one of the weapons of choice for famed Australian criminal/author Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read.'
