Baumgarten:
As far as I know there weren't any embellishments on reinforced components that weren't an effort to disguise or distract your eye from the enhanced frame design, or whatever the case may be. It was an effort to make the sporting weapon more aesthetically pleasing. But I should have used an additional adjective such as mini to go with the musselshell addition. One sees the enhanced frame on many of the Hahn/Roux/Underlever drillings, such as those offered by F.W. Keler, as some have cracked giving them something of a black-eye. Mike Ford had brought it to my attention but the Hahn/Roux/Underlever drillings like this Monopol & others

have a larger reinforcement in the hingepin area. Neither may provide much additional reinforcement but I think that was the intent.
