Opis

Ludwig Loewe (1837-1886) laid the foundations for mass production in the German metal industry with the help of American precision machinery. Instead of making sewing machines the German Army engaged the Loewe factory to make rifle parts which eventually led the Loewe conglomerate to become the largest small arms producer in Europe.
