I could not find any information on what the MA stamp meant, though it seems possible it was some sort of interim inspectors mark. Dear Sir, I own this pistol : P BERETTA-CAL.9 CORTO-M 1934-BREVET GARDONE V.T. 32ACP would have been much more useful to the Germans, and therefore more likely to be found with German acceptance marks on it. 380ACP a non-standard round for the German military. The problem here is that the Model 1934 was chambered in. If it were made during the time of the German control of Italy, it would most likely have the Eagle over Swastika along with the Waffenamt code WaA162P assigned to Beretta-Gardone and that would be stamped somewhere on the gun. I could only find the following markings for Beretta during or prior to that time period Crown over Lion-Brescia or Gardone proofhouse for the 1934 pistol circa 1943 RA-Italian Royal Air Force RM-Royal Italian Navy SA-Italian Army inspector MR-Military inspection and MAM-Romanian Ministry of Sea and Air contract. As you already posted, the serial number range of your pistol is most likely from the period of 1943 to 1945 with the serial number range beginning with G00001 to G57486.
