Beretta Brevettato 12 Gauge O/U Shotgun

A Beretta stamped with "Brevettato" (Italian for "patented") is a vintage firearm featuring a patented design or mechanism, often seen on mid-20th-century models like the Beretta S-series over/under shotguns or older semi-autos. What "Brevettato" Means Translation: It means "patented" in Italian. Significance: It is not a specific model name. Instead, it indicates that a particular mechanical feature, lock, or design on the shotgun was protected by a Beretta patent at the time of manufacturing. Era: You will most commonly find this stamp on Beretta shotguns manufactured from the 1950s through the 1970s.
