As a toolmaker I especially like the clever way the catch has been moulded Leon. Either with a sliding core or at least a removable one that let the metal flow up and around to form the hook. The other possibility is that the hook was rough formed and then 'coined' with a separate padding tool.
Probably not done straight then bent over as zinc is not that ductile ....
Whichever way, it is some clever craftsmanship that has sadly been lost in the computer controlled machining 21st century.

Thanks Dan ,i see what you mean about the catch when you explain it. Not being the slightest bit"technical" when it comes to the practicallities of producing something like this, i can appreciate the difficulty in getting it right! Leon.
