It might help if we knew exactly what model of pistol it is.  What it the caliber etc.  we need more details to be more of a help!
Which lie got to you so that you refuse Him???

You have a 1951 Beretta or Egyptian made 9mm (9x19 or 9mm Luger).  This model was called the Beretta Brigadier which the Egyptians called the Helwan or that's what they called their version of it.  It's a solid and reliable pistol and the forerunner to the Model 92 series.  They were imported by Interarms in Alexandria, Virginia.  Beretta never made a pistol in 9mm Largo. 

About the best you can do is fo up on line to Beretta Corp. and try and find out from them who might have spare parts for the Helwan/Brigadier.  Good luck and hope this helps.
