Krupp Barrels on an A Hollis

I was wondering if anyone has any information on the maker Krupp. I believe it is the makers of the barrels of my A Hollis double.

There is a word I can’t make out as follows CU---TAHI, or something similar followed by the word Krupp on the underside of both barrels. I am assuming the barrels were bought in from Krupps by H Leonard’s, the rifle built and then onto A Hollis.

I believe many of the “English” rifles were built by outsourced labour and bought in, not necessarily English materials, including some of the “better” names.

Any opinions would be very interesting as I am trying to piece the history of the rifle together.

Regards

Phil
