Beretta 92 NRA Presentation???

blueswiss

Did a trade this last weekend and got this Model 92EL that has screws, ambidextrous safety, magazine release, hammer and some of the inlays done in gold. It is marked on the right side BERETTA USA CORP. ACKK, MD. Mod 92EL 9mm Parabellum. Lower down on the frame, not in gold are the words NRA 95. THe serial number is prefixed by BER and has a suffix Z. The left side has NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION on it and also the crest of the NRA. It looks like the Beretta trademark is on the top of the barrel, also in gold. Any particular value over and above a standard Beretta 92?? Did they flood the market with these NRA Berettas? What is a relative value that can be assigned to this particular piece. It looks unfired and I haven't found any dings or scratches. It also has a high blue poslish.
Thanx,
Tim

Its value is relatively close to a normal production gun. What you have is a "Friends of the NRA" dinner gun, or at least that is what it sounds like. Most of those type items were done either in a dedicated run at the factory, or more often by an outside source, who dolled up the gun. The resale value is often not too much more than the value of the standard counterpart.
