Beretta folder

[galvanic1882]

Has anyone seen or know anything about this made in Italy Beretta knife? Front bolster in script is P. Beretta on the back is a hawk. The lever is the locking mechanism. It’s not a switchblade. I’ve had one before, but it was a long time ago. Can’t find anything on the internet about the date etc?

I've never seen one of those before. But I am always interested to see the Beretta branded knives that pop up. They've branded some of my favorite folders in the past (Like a Fantoni HB1). This one feels like a very cool, very old, early tactical folder. It wouldn't be optimal for a tactical knife now, but I bet it was a pretty good option when it came out.
