Beretta 92FS / 96 Combo Pack

Anyone know much about these? I just bought one and it's in great shape. I had never seen one before.
Both slides and the lower are all marked "combo" showing that this is in fact the combo pistol and not a user assembled aftermarket combo. This includes two 10 round magazines (one in 9mm and one in .40S&W) and has the factory hard box which holds one lower and upper assembled, the other upper and barrel, and two magazines. This pistol has all metal parts (guide rod, trigger, and safety) and not plastic parts like the newer 92 and 96 series pistols.
From what I can find on various forums there were a limited number of the kits made in the 90's. I saw 1000 and I saw 2500. Beretta's sight is completely useless for any older weapons, so was hoping someone had some knowledge. Looks like they sold new in the late 90's for $875 - $900.
Beretta's site has been worthless in searching for info, but I have not called them. Any info you guys might have about estimated value today, how many were actually made, etc would be appreciated.
Pics soon.

I'll let ya'll know.
If you check the Serial numbers on Beretta's website (or call them) they typically show up as either the 92 or 96, but says nothing about a "combo pack"
Beretta reps did tell me that there were "something like 2000 to 2500" made for that order.
Pics please!
Very interesting...
Pics please!
here ya go. The grips are not what came with the kit, the ones that came with it are the factory plastic 92 grips. Because it was made during the ban years, these kits came with one 10 round 40 and one 10 round 9mm. The mags in the kit right now are hi-cap 9mm, as I took it to the range not too long ago.
Oh, and not sure of the significance, but all these kits shipped with the shorter 119mm barrels instead of the usual 125mm 92FS barrels.
