Conversely, I have seen genuine Krupp tubes with the factory mark on the underside, Marked a cheaper steel on the top of the barrels. Have one Baker marked Homotensile steel that way. These were usuall LLH or similar from Belgium. In the period it was manufactured, barrel blanks were hard to get due to the unrest in Europe. Guess they just used what they had, or maybe were not proud to mark the Krupp name at that time.
