I purchased my Beretta Mod. 92F when they became available to the public many years ago, just after
the Military adoped the pistol. The serial number is DO1625Z and it has a steel frame and possibly stainless
steel. It has Made in Italy on the right side and has Beretta USA on the left. It's new and not fired. I have searched the internet and found 'The Handgun Forum', but did not find the answer to my question. On some of the older
forums others were having problems with the dates of manufacturing too! I would appreciate any later info on this
model!! Thanks!! ----judobaise@gmail.com----
