Identifying the age of Italian pistols

[Rudi]

Maybe this was already shared, I received this link from the team at benelli when I wanted to know the age of my pistol.
You can probably run it through google chrome to translate the other marks and their meaning although the year is obvious.

Excellent source, since it includes recent years most of the other online Italian date code lists only (much) earlier ones.
