Tanfoglio MOSSAD 9mm Pistol is more than less "TA90 Baby" produced by Tanfoglio for Israel.
Tanfoglio of Italian was a Subcontractor for Israel Military Industries. Early production Israel Military Industries (IMI) Jericho 941 (CZ 75 copy) semi-automatic pistols were built using parts supplied by the Italian arms house Tanfoglio. Using a well-tested design allowed IMI to avoid the teething problems most new pistol designs experience and subcontracting much of the basic fabrication work to Tanfoglio allowed IMI to quickly and economically put into production a pistol that would have enough Israeli content to satisfy government contract requirements.
Mossad is the national intelligence agency of Israel. It is one of the main entities in the Israeli Intelligence Community Mossad is responsible for intelligence collection, covert operations, and counterterrorism. Mossad is separate from Israel's democratic institutions. Because no law defines its purpose, objectives, roles, missions, powers, or budget and because it is exempt from the constitutional laws of the State of Israel, Mossad has been described as a deep state. Its director answers directly and only to the Prime Minister.
It is generally accepted these were Training / Range pistols.
