Hello, I just acquired a collection and I was wondering what this is exactly! I see the MR73 everywhere but I do not see any with the “Millenium Seri No 41” on the side. Every one I see has the Beretta information in that spot. Is this a special edition and it’s # 41 of that batch?

Any information would be greatly appreciated



Where do we go from here???

I wonder if it's a "pre Beretta" Chapuis gun?

ProTip: Never pick a fight with a tree planter. He swings a hoedad for 9 hours a day, carries 30-40 pounds of seedlings on his back, and has 12-14 friends just like him hiding out on the other side of the junk butt pile. They will fuck your shit up.

Congrats on getting a fine piece that will out live all of your descendents.

... Lucky bastard.

They are low batch guns to being with so i could not tell you on the numbers. But I think that might be a anniversary model.

The biggest appeal of them is that they are made of a naval ordinance steel alloy.

Pretty much making them the most durable revolver in the world for the price.

Only the likes of Korth or Janz will surpass them in feel and that's only because they are fine hand worked guns to the 10th degree.

Basically, you have a handgun that can rack up a round count that would make a MG42 blush, if not out right faint.

I found this on another board where someone inquired about it.


"As for the Millenium marking, it's odd for spelling. In America we use two n's, thus: millennium. If this had been for the French market, it should have said Millénaire.

Regardless, I think this revolver was probably a limited run in 2000, which was the millennium.

As for serie no41, my guess is that it is number 41 of a limited production run, with 041 probably indicating some number totaling three digits, like 100, 250, 500, etc. So 041 of 100 or something like that."

Now with more political fatigue.

Thanks for the information.  My buddy used ChatGPT and it said there was 2000 made in the Mellinium run.   I was thinking the grips were aftermarket because they do not have the gold medallion but I guess they are original walnut target grips that came on it.    It’s a beautiful revolver but I’m not into wheel guns except my 1978 (my birth year) 4” and 6” nickeled Pythons.   I’m probably gonna put it on Gun broker at some point.   Someone out there needs it for their collection  can give it the appreciation it deserves.

Why you would part with such a revolver is crazy to me but everone has their taste.

Just make sure you are positive about it because new ones are 4 grand and over depending.

At least go shoot it once
