Delcour-DuPont survived WWI relatively intact. They were the last of the large production houses to produce damascus barrels, circa 1939.
From about 1905 to 1919 most fluid steel coming out of Belgium, especially FN, was produced by Siemens-Martin,
Hi PeteM,
I don't want to be a stickler, but I seem to remember (from long ago days when I worked in the steel industry in Germany)
that Siemens-Martin is a specific process of making steel, used by a number of steel makers (others are the Thomas and Bessemer processes).
Don't take this the wrong way; just a bit of information I can add.
Best regards from England
