Much more handy for the doctor and better to fix were the wing tips of the Fa. Acufirm. They were stamped from V2A steel, an invention of the Essen Krupp works from 1912 (V = test, A = austerite), in which chromium and nickel are added to the crude steel to make it acid-resistant and rust-free.

Hermann STRAUSS was born on April 28, 1868 in Heilbronn. He became an internist, finally chief physician of the Jewish Hospital in Berlin, where he lived in the district of B. Charlottenburg. In 1942 he was deported (as a Jew) to Theresienstadt, where he died on 17 October 1944 of a heart attack.
A Berlin hospital bears his name "Hermann Strauss Nursing Hospital", Iranische Straße 2-4, 13347 Berlin

These needles were used exclusively for blood collection ...
