This is in regard to the shape of the rear side of the receiver. Typically, in guns such as W&S and most others, the rear is a straight perpendicular line. Others feature a scalloped edge, with a "point", or "hump" in the metal. I'm specifically referring to pre-WWI Vintage doubles. Here's the question:

Anyone familiar with an English Maker who used a receiver with a half-moon crescent at the rear? Similar to the shape of the German post-WWII guns such as those that came out of the Ernst Thalmann Works?

Thanks
Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
