I believe that the RE marking you describe denotes use by the Italian Army. Most likely a army marked Model 1934 would be the most commonly found of the Beretta's used by the Italian military.
It would be best if you could post quality photos of the Beretta. There are instructions on a "sticky" near the top of the first page for posting photos in the forum.0
