Firing pin is held in the falling block by a retaining pin. This is not normally removed or replaced for routine maintenance. Rather than provide instructions, I will suggest that this go to a gunsmith, who should also inspect the firearm for safe condition prior to installing the firing pin.

The purpose of Beretta's firing pin catch is to prevent the firing pin from going forward from in the event that the pistol is dropped. It's just simply redundancy, every precaution to not put little holes into your body is taken.

Like it says, the firing pin rotates as the action cycles.
The Little Scout Model 14-1/2 was made from 1911 to around 1941. It followed the Little Scout Model 14 (one-piece stock, 1906-1911). The lack of the Savage mark probably won't affect the value much. Condition is everything. I have about a dozen 14-1/2s and have paid as little as $75 to as much as $175, and I've seen really nice examples with asking prices exceeding $500; they never seem to sell at that elevated level. Most 14-1/2s on the auction boards go from $100 to $200. Any gunsmith with a lathe could turn a firing pin; the pin is simple and easy to replace. Some on-line parts sellers may have the pins, too, and you can replace it easily yourself by tapping out a small pin that holds it in place.

To check if your firing pin is missing after disassembling a firearm, first inspect the firing pin channel for any obstructions or damage. Compare the firing pin assembly with a schematic or reference guide for your specific firearm model to ensure all components are present. If the firing pin or any associated parts are absent, you may notice an incomplete assembly or unusual gaps where the firing pin should be located. Additionally, you can consult the manufacturer’s manual for detailed diagrams to confirm the presence of the firing pin.
