Would anyone have any pre-WWII German examples(Belgian or French as the French occupied the region in early part of the 19th Century) of tubes made of steel from the Bochumer Verein facility in Bochum, Germany,
http://www.route-industriekultur.de/en/a...ury-bochum.html ? I know there exist some post WWII examples that have the "Bochumer Verein" stamp just prior to the merging of Bochumer Verein & Krupp in 1966. Sauer used Krupp,
http://www.thyssenkrupp.com/en/konzern/geschichte_grfam_k3.html , I. Meffert used Heinrich Ehrhardt,
http://www.rheinmetall-detec.de/index.php?fid=893&lang=3 and others including Meffert may have used other maker's steel. Considering other gunmakers like Simson, whose steel did they use? I'm trying to chase down info on some of the German steel makers in a effort to compile a few paragraphs, which a couple expect this decade, on steel advances in the 19th century. I have additional info on Bochumer Verein if anyone is interested. Many folk think the names Krupp, Ehrhardt, Boehler, etc. made the weapons when they only made the steel and I haven't seen "Bochumer Verein" as a so called gunmaker yet and was curious if any examples existed.
Kind Regards,
