Where should I look for a firing pin for a Hotchkiss 1909 Portable Machine Gun?

  DBMJR1,
  
  I ran my list of parts suppliers and didn't come up with one but it was not an intensive search either. If you haven't tried all the machine gun or military firearms sites, I suggest getting into those by using a search engine and scanning their websites. If you have no luck, you might have to resort to making phone calls to some of these suppliers to see if they have any contacts that we might not normally know.
  
  The alternative is to contact a gunsmith or quality machinist to see if they can make one for you. Most firing pins are fairly straight forward and not difficult at all. I'm not familiar with the Hotchkiss firing pin but I wouldn't think it could vary that much.
  
  Best.
