Convo on a different thread got me thinking about this again...figured I'd canvas the clubhouse crowd.
Is it known why some Krupp barrels DON'T say Essen?
Is it because those that don't were made in Belgium under license? And those marked Essen were made there?
Also, i have seen 2 sources which state that Krupp steel was made under license after 1893 by Bethlehem and Crucible. But neither identifies the purposes for which it was licensed. So while rails would seem most likely...has anyone uncovered any source stating these American makers made Krupp tubes for the U.S. trade?
