So how can a tube acquire a Krupp steel stamp atop and have a Acier Cockerill LLH" stamp below? Well, LLH(Laurent Lochet-Habran - http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge/art...aurent%20gb.htm ) possibly under an umbrella contract thru a licensing agreement between Krupp & FN circa 1900, was making tubes, some of which were for export to the U.S. of A., and may have pulled the wrong tube from the wrong bin. LLH, Lucian Clement, possibly Sl - Syndicat liegeois. & others?, either had a license to use Krupp ingot steel or were under the umbrella of the FN-Krupp agreement.

Kind Regards,

Raimey
