I have a Beretta 92FS in superb condition and it is made in Italy. I would like to find out the mfg. date if possible. Can anyone help me out here?

The folks on the Beretta Forum say (I haven't personally done this) to go to Beretta's website
http://www.berettausa.com/
Go to the bottom and click on the "customer service" link
then click on "ask a question"
Ask the question, give them your serial number, and in a few days, they'll e-mail you the manufacturing date.
In theory.

If your 92 was made in Italy, use the following chart from Beretta's website....
Beretta firearms produced in Italy carry a proof mark for the year of production. The chart below is used to identify the year by this mark. For recent pistols this mark is usually located on the frame near the trigger guard, for older pistols, the mark is on the slide or on the frame behind the grip area. Shotguns have this mark stamped on the barrel near the chamber. You may need to remove the barrel to read the mark.
In some cases the actual date was stamped instead of these marks, this is normally seen on older pistols.
We have also seen markings where roman and numerical figures are combined, for example XX 8 instead of the listed XXVIII for year 1972.
