“KRUPP here, I assume, is the very old German company heavily involved in steel and weapons manufacture.”
They were THE armorer for Germany in World Wars One and Two.

I wasn’t sure if Krupp was part of a “merger” with a Thysson co.
Krupp is much older than that!

Krupp was involved with German arms production even prior to WWI. Here is a Krupp barrel on a German 1893 dated Gewehr Model 1888 rifle from my collection.
