Beretta Shotgun Serial Numbers Manufacture Dates

Hi all,
I just picked up a used Beretta 85BB (.380 ACP) and have two questions I hope someone on this forum can answer.
First, I would like to know the (approximate) year of manufacture. Beretta's web site says they will only furnish this info to law enforcement. Why the big secret? We know the 80 series was first produced in 1976 and the BB came some time later. I would like to know when my gun was made from the serial number. Can anyone help with this?
Second concerns the importer. The slide is factory stamped/marked Berben Corporation N.Y. - N.Y. The frame is electro-penciled PW Arms Redmond WA.
So who was the importer? What is the relationship between Berben and PW Arms? This can also help establish year of manufacture.
Any help would be appreciated.
