I would have to re-read a bit & refresh, but the probability of >>JNO. HY. ANDREW & CO. LTD. TOLEDO STEEL WORKS SHEFFIELD<< shipping Bar Stock to Liege pretty much approaches Zero. All other Steel Makers, and many Mechanics, filed for trademarks & had licensing agreements with Belgian Steel Makers in Flanders and Wallonia, and any one familiar w/ Belgian platforms would easily recognize those steel centres. Although the Belgian Steel effort could be in a slump today, Belgium is highly known for being a major steel producer in Europe. Major steel makers like Krupp, would make licensing agreements to produce their bar stock for tube production. I am fairly confident that the American & German Outfitters were behind the licensing effort??
During the aforementioned era, pretty much everything in Belgium supported the weapons effort.
Hochachtungsvoll,
