The use of roman numerals is referred to the year of the Fascist Era.
It started on 29 october 1922 (the date that Mussolini entered Roma) and stopped on september 1943 (the date that the fascist government ended).
As the fascist year started on october, it is possible to find pistols with different fascist dates, even if with the same civil date. For example, a pistol dated 1941 can have the fascist year IX if manufactured before october and the fascist year XX if manufactured after october.

Regards
Antonio
