Markings on Italian Berettas

[Umka]

All new Italian made Beretta 92 FS and 92a1 I saw in local stores have "BERETTA USA CORP., ACKK, MD." text on the slide in addition to "Pietro Beretta Gardone V.T. made in Italy".
Do they all come to Canada through US? Is it even possible to find new Beretta that doesn't have US importer info? Just curious. Thnx!

Mine doesn't have made in USA, only made in Italy. Part that bothers me is the "read owners manual" on the other side.

You need to find one made in the 80's. No warnings, all metal parts, made in Italy and most important to me...straight dust cover.

Here are a couple photos of my 92, Production 1977. Step slide, heel mag release and frame mounted safety,,,,, bill board, although sympathetically done, its still there.

My 92A1 made in Italy, 2016 has the US Corp on the left side. The latter to comply with US Import regulations. I suspect Beretta does it for all their Italian production meant for export. This would reduce inventory requirements.
