Some information about the INA Model 53 (the Brazilian version of the Madsen)
The history of the National Arms Industry is at least interesting, and gets away from Brazil at the beginning of World War II when the Germans invaded Denmark. On this occasion there was, in technical mission, a Brazilian Army officer: Plinio Paes Barreto Cardoso. Danes trusted him with some weapons designs (including a light machine gun), which are brought by him to Brazil, away from the hands of the Nazis. Once the war, returned the projects, Dansk Industri Syndikat gives gratitude for the rights of the submachine Madsen model 1946. So in 1949, headed by General Retired Plinio, is founded the Industria Nacional De Armas (National Arms Industry) - INA, the district Utinga in the city of Santo André, São Paulo.
