Congratulations for your new gun!
It shows a little wear, but this is part of the history of the weapon.
I know many american soldiers brought home Berettas from the WWII as souvenirs, due to their beautiful and simple design and reliability.
Your gun shows that reddish finish that is very appreciated by italian collectors. We call it "beaver's tail" color.
Almost all the Beretta M35 in the s/n range between 504.865 and 612.442 should have the german acceptance stamp WaA162: is it true for your gun also?
I can see on it only the city of Brescia proof i.e. a crown over a lioness.
What is the stamp I see on the trigger guard?
Here I can show a couple pics of my M35, dated 1941-XIX.

All the best
Antonio
