Beretta 32 cal pistol

I inherited a beretta semi auto pistol from my granndfather. he was in WWII and he always told me he brought it back from overseas. I am curious about the guns history as well as value. any information would be appreciated. the serial # is 442591

hi dad,
i'll need to have the model number to see if i can help.

would be nice to have some details on it to help id it,,look on the side of the slide for information such as dates or manufactures ,,post exactly what it says because this usually has a major part to play in idying a firearm,,and example of a beretta marking on the slide would be,,
PIETRO BERETTA BRESCIA CASA FONDATA 7.65MM BREVETTO 1915,,These markings would usually be on the left side of the slide and would indicate that this pistol would be a model 1915 pistol,,any other marking would also be helpful such as proofs marks to determine if it was ever proofed by the germans during ww2 for use,,so look it over and try to post as much detail as possible
