I have an EE Lefever, SN 73,101, with barrels clearly marked as Krupp bbls, in English on either side of the rib on top of the barrels, and in German on the underside. The underside is also marked LLH for L. Lochet-Habran. Behind the LLH, just ahead of the flats, there is a number 5 on the underside of both barrels. Does anyone know why this set of barrels has the marking of both a German (Krupp) and a Belgian (LLH) barrel maker? They both couldn't have made the same set of barrels. Other than the LLH, the gun has all the characteristics and markings of a Syracuse Lefever and no markings or indications of Ithaca. Any insights into these markings would be appreciated. Thanks.
