I have seen it stated on several occasions that Krupp never "Made" any small arms barrels. They made large barrels for heavy ordnance & otherwise as far as rifles & shotguns go, they supplied the steel to barrel makers. If you note on most barrels with a Krupp mark it will say Krupp Stahl (steel), this does not denote that Krupp actually made the barrel. This mark was normally applied by the barrel maker & not by Krupp themselves. I highly suspect that Damascus barrel with a Krupp mark, was stamped in error.
