The only Italian machine gun I've pulled up is the M 37 Breda heavy machine gun and there's a place online where you can actually purchase them.

I can't find a Machine Gun. The only makers of Italian MG's in WW2 were Fiat-Revelli and Breda. Perhaps individual weapons had popular nicknames.

Few MG's anywhere have names beginning with t

The list includes Tokarev (USSR), Tallinn (Finland), Taisho (Japan)and of course Thompson (USA)

I see one reference to an Italian sub-machine gun named TZ45, a 9mm SMG produced in small numbers in 1944-45. Is that the one you are looking for?

The lower photo is of an Italian Breda, Model 1930.
A 6.5mm light MG with a 20-round box, worked on a delayed blowback action.
Considered by weapons experts to be a poor design.

The top photo may be the same type of gun, but there appears to be a tripod lying on top of it which makes it difficult to be 100% sure.

hope this helps [img]smile.gif[/img]

There was an Italian arms company called 'Vickers Terni' which made Vickers automatic cannon under licence. In machine guns, there was the Scotti in addition to makes already mentioned.
