Agree with Wild Cattle and Obsessed. My observation was that pre 1900 Holland Royals used a special lump . I think this subject has been discussed before with pics. My Royal was made with two sets of barrels in 1897. Each set is original and uses the Holland lump, not chopper lump.

I think it would not be unlikely that the Royal in question in this thread was originally made with the Holland lump, ca. late 1890s.
