I'm looking for some grips that would be factory correct for this Beretta 92F that was made in 1984.  Would any stock 92F grips fit the bill, or was there a variation in grips from later years (I know about the grips cut for the 92FS)?

One thing I noticed about this early Beretta is that it has a matte parkerized type finish, which differs from finishes on those made in 1985.

A set of vintage 92SB plastic grips is what you seek.  That said, I do believe they are the same grip as the F developed from the SB.

Did the 92F only ship with plastic grips in 1984?

I think I recall them shipping with both wooden (as you have) and plastic….much the same as the 92SBs were offered, depending on the “package” Beretta shipped out.
Those were good day back then with the 92s and Sig 226s and Steyer GBs as each others main competition.

The grips on it are 92FS grips, which is why I am looking for originals.  Is there an issue with the hammer pin backing out if 92FS grips are used?

Good question…. Suppose it could like any non secured pin.  Perhaps fill the void with a smooth layer of JBWeld or better yet, fill it with black tinted Acraglass as insurance.

I have a 1987 92F made in Accokeek, Maryland.  It has a more polished slide finish.  It came with plastic grips.

OP, is that an Italian 92F?  I have never seen the PSF proof mark on a Non-Italian.

Yes, it's Italian.
