Eibar, Spain is also the home of Star firearms and maybe others. I know it was the primary steel producing town for Spain in the early 1900s. I don't know of a connection between Star & Zeus other than both are in Eibar. A couple of days ago, I posted an ebay outing for a Browning bike that might have been connected to the Browning Firearms company in Belgium. And, it seems that last month someone mentioned that Steyr (the Austrian gun company) made Puch at one time. It seems logical to me that a steel company would manufacture tubing and gun barrels. But, other than these examples, were there others? Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
