Bernardelli VP .25 1957, does anyone information on this firearm? I have another project I am working on now, I found some used parts, and some new parts.

Found this in one of of my old gunsmith books from the1940's.

Found this on the internet.

I actually have one of these. I haven't had it out in a while. Took it apart a few years ago. I'm missing a part to it. I think it's a spring that I'm missing, not sure which one. I remember downloading the same parts list you are showing. I hit up a couple gunsmiths back then but they were unable to find any parts for it. I still have it stashed away. I'll dig it out this wknd and throw a pic of it up.

Here's mine. I seen online where someone had a date mark of XXIV saying it was a 1968. I'm not sure how they come up with the year. Mine is XXI and not sure what year that would be.

Finally getting some progress on this firearm! 🤗

The safety, spring, I have, however the "old" grips are screwed up and I found another "old" set that is in good condition.

I have everything accounted for in parts except for the firing pin spring, WOLFF has them so I ordered it.

I have tested, checked each part for fit and finish.

This one is much easier to work on, and it's considered a collector.

Had to get some help from my "Pistol Book"

The new grip screws came in. I figured it out, if the slide is off the trigger will not work, the sear is up to far with the slide off, once the slide is on the trigger pulls back 100%.

The slide release will not come out once the sear is in place, took me awhile, since I was visually checking each part for fit and that is what I found out.

Had to get the sear orientation figured out.

The firing pin assembly and indicator. The take down lever has a hole where the indicator sticks out.

I have this assembly completed, the slide is one tight fitting mother puss bucket. No slop, just a smooth slide. Some slides are loose, not this one its machined really nicely.

Still more work to do, it is coming along nicely.

So, everything is finally complete and this is awesome! Everything is correct, working excellent. Found a set of grips made by the factory, the springs are Wolff, overall it is a amazing shooter.
Bernardelli VP pistol .25 from 1957. I was able to restore this pistol to safely fire again, having no issues with it.

Feeds the rounds without any issues.
