Post war Mauser frames made in Italy?

The question relevant in this discussion is not who machined the frames, but who forged, or less likely, who cast them. Setting up to forge frames would be a huge operation and very expensive. Now I don't know who did what, but I do remember the article and the picture. The Italian company was one of the ones making copies of Colt percussion cap revolvers.
Maybe the frames weren't for Mauser. Perhaps the Italian company was planning to introduce their own Luger copy, or someone else planned to and they were just producing the frames. Anyway it was a long time ago and maybe I will never know.
