Thirty eight?
I meant to say 1951!
It's a Beretta model 1951, aka M1951, aka M951, aka Brigadier. This one is a late '50's police contract gun made for (and refurbished by) Israel. It's led a hard life.
Damage notwithstanding, it's a shooter. Single stack nine with 8+1 shots. Just over 2.2 lb. loaded.
Take-Apart is simple. Pull the slide back so the half-moon is lined up with the latch and rotate the latch up into it. Then pull the slide off the front.
There seems to be a lack of original on this design in some ways.
The trigger sure looks Spanish to me...
