WWII Italian .380

I noticed that SAOTW had the cartridge listed as '9mm Corto Modelo 1934' and tried Googling that to see what came up. Not much facts, just discussion. COTW had it listed as a 95gr bullet, but unconfirmed.

One of these is in my LGS as we speak. I walked in as the owner was trading it in. Original and with excellent condition original holster. Odd observation: Slide was plum coloring but rest of gun was blue-black. Didn't look buffed or even dip-refinished. I didn't look close enough to see if .380 or .32. Also didn't think to look for military branch marking. Usual spiel: father-in-law bringback.
