Hi Hesham. You're right, modello just means model. And, in some cases, Breda might certainly have referred to a 'modello 65' meaning what we know as the Ba.65.My point was that the 'Ba.' prefix was applied by the Regia Aeronautica or Ministero dell'Aeronautica. The small arms and cannons in question here were used by the Regia Marina and the Regio Esercito ... which did not apply those 'Ba.' prefixes.Instead these organizations applied capital-M 'Modello' numbers with, as mentioned, 'Mod.' or 'M.' followed by the last two digits of the year of issue. So, you will find lots of examples of 'Modello xx' listed out there because this style of nomenclature was applied to every issued form of Italian small arms or piece of ordnance.
