The Bernardelli Model 60 is a classic, Italian-made semi-automatic pocket pistol chambered in .32 ACP (7.65mm). Manufactured in 1971 by Vincenzo Bernardelli S.p.A., this elegant firearm features a compact design, a 3.5-inch barrel, and an 8-round capacity, making it a highly collectible piece that is fully Curio & Relic (C&R) eligible.
Constructed with a durable steel frame and slide, the Model 60 utilizes a reliable straight blowback action supported by twin recoil springs to smooth out slide movement. It is equipped with traditional checkered plastic grips, small fixed sights integrated into the top of the slide, and an exposed hammer with a half-cock safety. Additionally, the firearm features a European-style heel magazine release and a magazine safety, preventing it from firing without a magazine inserted.
This surplus handgun shows signs of its vintage history. The overall condition is graded as good to fair, showing normal signs of use, light scratches, and wear on the original finish, which may exhibit a light patina or slight rust/corrosion. While the pistol retains a majority of its original finish, the vintage plastic grips and plastic magazine bases may exhibit cracks or chips.
