Project Highlight: Beretta M9 30th Anniversary

commemorative collaborations with beretta USA by c. forbes, Inc.

Since 1985 the Beretta M9 has played a key role in military operations around the world and has become well-known to both servicemembers and recreational shooters. In 2015, Beretta wished to commemorate the legacy of their M9 by designing 30th-anniversary coins along with collector’s edition display boxes. This 5-piece custom presentation case was comprised of a solid American walnut display case with routed top plate and molded foam base, inset coin, and etched top glass, all packaged in a custom, 2-piece fiberboard gifting box with silver foil Beretta logo on top.

This short run of highly attractive collectibles was also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and the classic Beretta Model M9 pistol. Together with the team at Beretta USA, the execution of these limited edition cases was world-class. This is one of our most complex, yet rewarding collaborations to date.
