Beretta Info

Just picked up a Beretta pistol labeled
PIETRO BERETTA-Gardone V.T.-Cal9Corto
made in Italy
I was told that it was a 380 but it doesn't say 380 anywhere on the gun. The Cal 9 made me wonder.
any help out there?

    9 Corto is the Italian designation for 9mm "Short". This is how our .380 cartridge is known in Europe.

    Thanks I just didn't want to buy the wrong ammo.
    I got a box of 380 with the gun.
    Is there any area where I can research the age and value of this gun?
