A factory was set up in Sao Paulo, Brazil to produce Beretta 92s to fulfill a large contract for the Brazilian Army that had been placed in 1974. The Brazilian Army was the first large organization to test the Beretta 92 prototype and adopted the 92 for its military. The last 45,000 were of the straight slide design, like yours. The first 7,000 or so produced were of the "step slide" design in which the slide made a distinct step-down in thickness right around the front end of the trigger guard. Per Wikipedia, the Beretta 92 was introduced in May 1976 and production ceased in Feb 1983, although I believe the Beretta 92 was actually first unveiled in 1975.
