Happy Birthday Beretta - 500 years

I glanced at the title and thought it said Happy birthday Bertha. :)
Good to see it's Beretta that's 500 years old!
 
Twice as old as the USA.

Remarkable.
 
Beretta is the oldest continuous gun maker in the world. Love 'em or hate 'em, there is something to be said of their quality and business acumen. Even persevering through all the wars, political and economic instability of Italy.

It is incredible. Talk about a volatile history
 
The World of Beretta, by R.L. Wilson is a well done book on archival paper. Probably could pick one up on Amazon. Illustrious company.

Great book. Probably enough activity (eg acquiiring Hollands) since publication to have a few addednum chapters by now.

It's incedible to think that Beretta was already 335 years old before Italy was even a country!

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
