Documented Brazilian Air Force Taurus PT92 Semi-Automatic Pistol Presented to
U.S. Air Force General Charles A. Gabriel - Serial no. MA06055, 9 mm Parabellum cal., 5 inch
round bbl., blue finish, plastic grips. The PT92 was produced in Brazil by Taurus on leftover Beretta
machinery after their contract with the Brazilian military had expired. Multiple branches of the
Brazilian military quickly adopted the “homemade Beretta” as their service sidearms, including the
Brazilian Air Force. This specific example bears the standard Taurus markings along with the Brazilian
crest and “MINISTERIO DA AERONAUTICA” on the right of the slide. Included with this specific pistol are two documents from
the Brazilian Air Force, the first being a 1985 dated note of friendship from Chief of Staff Alfredo Henrique de Berenguer Cesar
to General Charles A. Gabriel of the U.S. Air Force presenting the pistol to him as a gift. The other lists the pistol by serial number
and appears to be a letter to the U.S. Air Force stating that the pistol was in fact given to Gabriel as a gift by the Brazilian Air
Force. General Charles A. Gabriel held various commands during his air force career including commander of the 432nd Tactical
Reconnaissance Wing in Vietnam, during which he is credited with shooting down two MiG-15s, commander of United States Air
Forces in Europe, and Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force before retiring in 1986.
Note: This item features a high-capacity magazine which has a capacity above 10 rounds and cannot be sold or transferred to
residents in states where handgun magazine capacity is limited to no more than 10 rounds. Please check your local laws and
regulations prior to bidding.
CONDITION: Excellent, retains 99% plus of the original blue finish with only the
slightest handling marks. The grips are also excellent with a few scattered light
handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
