    If it looks like this it was the standard Italian military pistol used during W W II.

    Most of them are in .380 caliber, although the Italian Air Force and the Germans when they occupied Northern Italy used the .32 Caliber version.

    If in original factory condition, they are sought after by military pistol collectors. The ones with German markings that can be "AUTHENTICATED", are especially valuable.

    By 1944 finish was more of the crude nature, early ones were nice. Anyway a collectible in the 275. range IMO. nambu
