Gentlemens:

Thanks for the information and pictures.

I too was unaware that the ovate barrel form and Nock form was forged. One would assume that the shape was forged before drilling.

Toby:
Thanks for the idea. I have examined Mr. Mouca's work and it certainly complex and impressive. Howsomever, I am really looking for something British and of the late 19th century.

Thanks to all.
