From the pics of their example, they look to be in moderate condition.

Now, I haven't purchased firearms from Centerfire before, however I HAVE purchased other stuff from them and they have been very reasonable.  There was one time where shipping and communication was lacking, but that was only once out of 5 times I have ordered from them.  And since it was the first time I had ordered from them, I hesitated to try ordering from them again, but my second through fifth orders were expedited, when I had a small issue with one of the items I had ordered, I called them and they had a replacement in the mail that same day.

I had planned on ordering an AR-15 Upper from them, however the order taker was straight up front with me, telling me they were having some issues with that particular upper from their supplier and they recommended I NOT buy it.  How many companies will tell you NOT to buy one of the products they are selling because of an issue on their end?

Not many.

Now for some history of the M1951.

The M1951 9mm pistol was adopted to replace the M1934 which was chambered in .380 ACP.  It was also the very first locked breech pistol that Beretta manufactured.  It was later adopted by Egypt as the Tokagypt who later licensed it as the "Helwan"  The Helwan could be purchased many years ago for less than $100.00.
