I have seen several members show those, however it looks as if the toe on yours is chipped-off?
Here! Also a discussion on 'swaged' I think!

Thanks, its not chipped at toe, strange eh?
Yup - you have seen it before.....:o
And the toe looks like it's been modified.

I would not go so far as to say rare. It is a bit of an odd one though. I suspect that it was a short lived item. They are around but not plentiful like so many of their models. I also agree there is something unusual with the toe, like it has been stubbed.

Some different angles and close up
Looking at the one in question along with Andrew's I think it probably was chipped and reshaped, but I could be wrong,
I was wrong once before ...... :thinking:

That one is most likely chipped. It's not a common model but they are out there. The chip just happens to look like it was intentional, or it was reshaped to smooth it out. That kind of concave / swaged / whatever you want to call it was made by a few makers. Greaves made a 'Royal' concave that was similar.
