No I have not but I do have the armorers chest for the Breda Safat (7.7mm) with all its contents.
I also have the carry case for the model 30.

Hello STG44 i see you have the ' leather' Breda 30 ammo back pack , the other type is of pressed metal construction covered in a course cloth !..the armourers chest sounds a interesting find & in the rarer 7.35mm aswell !! ...the valaise is nice too...thanks for showing us ...3a.jpeg 2a.jpeg 4a.jpeg

Here we can see the Breda 30 ammo box & loader serving the gunner ! , also not the Breda 30 images (7).jpeg images (8).jpeg transit box been loaded on to a awaiting truck as i first thought..... but a different product from the Breda factory !?...Red Devil Hand Grenades !.

20200721_000122-1.jpg Lastly for tonight on the subject of boxes , a fairly good pic of the elusive Breda 30 spare Barrel carring box , two were carried at first , then it went to four barrels due to the barrel change regime of 250-350 rounds fired before the need to change the barrel due to overheating from contined fire...in large scale fire fights with enermy forces no doubt a necessary evil !

I wonder if that carrying bag for the Breda 30 might be for paratroops

Hello STG44 , no problem its quite interesting to see how many various types were available , i knew about the leather one you have , which iam informed is hardest to find , but i had'nt seen a wooden type like yours except for the Breda 37 !?...but from the stenciling on yours , it seems not just for the Breda30 but Fiat models also ....very nice...

The point is that Regia Marina did not use leather straps four bags, pouches, rifle slings, etc.
Regular infantry with such a bag? Maybe but I don't think so.

Yes your right of course Tankredi , but i hadnt linked it to larrusso Regia marina Breda , but i agree about the Para connection it would make it eazy to transport , but how about jumping from a aircraft with it ?..would they have used a drop container first ??

Cefalonia.Folgore-143.jpg This pic is very interesting as it shows Italian Folgore Paras on Cefalonia , but look at the Breda gun crews kit , they have the ammo box back packs , but look at the spare barrel containers slung across the top of the ammo boxes !?..also one man second left has his Breda spare mag pouch attached to his tactical bag !

Something interesting i picked up last year is this Italian small pack that had been converted with addition of a Breda ammo carrying strap sewn on top to make it into a sort of ammo carrying box !..with a Mg34 metal ammo box put inside the bag !!20200722_112630-1.jpg
