The Beretta Model 70 Surplus (brand part no. 70-SURPLUS) is an authentic European police and military trade-in, a single-action .32 ACP pocket pistol produced from the late 1950s through the 1980s and prized today for its all-steel build and classic Beretta lines. Beretta built the Model 70 as a straight-blowback design with a 3.5-inch barrel, an 8-round magazine, and the crisp single-action trigger collectors still praise. Each example is genuine surplus in a blued black finish, showing honest holster wear from decades of service while remaining mechanically sound, and unmodified examples are eligible for Curio & Relic licensees. Among semi-auto handguns, this Model 70 favors collectors and surplus enthusiasts chasing a piece of Cold War-era European service history.
