"Magazine, clip and belt fed versions"
"5000 6,5mm versions sold to Greece"
"produced under designation modèle 1924 till 30´s"

P.S. If my memory serves me right, the mg was Czech origin.

Hotchkiss was a French manufacturer founded in 1867 by a US emigrant : Benjamin Berkeley Hotchkiss (1826-1885).

According to some of the websites, the MG seems to be a Hotchkiss M/1922 mg.
