Thanks, Mr. Nash. Interesting to apply the makers to the shapes. I noticed your #8 Dougall and it brought to mind a couple of Dougall centerfires from ca 1872 or 1874. Dougall seemed to like a fairly unusual hammer shape for the centerfires. If one squints hard enough at your #8 , taking off the forward part of the hammer that reaches the pin, leaves a hammer shape not unlike these two centerfires from Dougall.
