I have finally found out how to determine the age of my 612. Apparently, Italian guns are given a year code stamp when they are prooved. In the case of Franchi/Benelli/Beretta it is two capitol letters inside a square. Here is a link to the page that shows what letters correspond with what years. Cool.
