Help Identifying Markings on Beretta 1934

Hey All!
I am looking for an expert to help me out identifying the markings I have on my Beretta model 1934. I don’t have the entire backstory on this specific pistol, but it was passed down from my great grandfather and has led itself to me. Unfortunately, I never thought to have a discussion with prior generations about the gun. From the little research I have done, it appears to be a fairly rare G serial with the blank slide. But I have yet to find another model 1934 with the markings that mine has. If anyone has info on what these markings may be, I would appreciate a brief history lesson.
Thanks!

IF that's an eagle wearing a crown it is an Air Force model. Can't make out the trigger guard number --A If it is an R then that would be it. Looks late war to me but I am not an expert. IF that is a nickel finish then that was done after the war.

Thanks Grasshopper. It’s strange that the markings seem much smaller than the other 1934’s that I have seen. I believe this is a late 1943 - early 1944 based on the serial number. But I’m getting that based on other forums I have read about the serials starting with G.
