Beretta SxS questions

WHO · 10-26-2014, 09:51 AM

I have the opportunity to purchase this Beretta in the near future but know nothing about Berettas. I haven't held the gun yet so right now all I have are the attached photos to go on. Does anyone know what grade, approximate year of manufacture and value? Any other observations would be greatly appreciated.

You wont go wrong with it the older Beretta's are great guns ...you'll find the model # stamped in the forend wood, 409 ,410 ,411 ,etc... there are some very subtle differences between the older models ,I have a very similar 409 model ,non-ejector with a rib extension but no action scallops ,it's my go to Ptarmigan gun .

Wayne,

There's person (Jim Bode) that had a newsletter on beretta SxS. You can get asking prices at the usual places gunsinternational or gunbroker. If you want info on the guy with newsletter, let me know.

The first gun is a Beretta Model 410E.

I have one in 20 gauge and one in 28 gauge.

I recently sold a new in box 411E made in 1956.

For a while they were going for about $100/gauge; 12 gauge = $1200 etc.

The prices have gone up with appreciation of the quality of these guns and I see there is a 28 gauge 410E on GI for $6,500.

I don't think I'd pay more than $1500 for the gun in question.
