Thanks Robin. That's a very nice display of the early style of forend tip. That design was replaced by the late design around 1877 I believe.

I've always wondered why the change in the design of the forend tip or nose piece was made. I know the thistle is the national symbol of Scotland... maybe a Scottish emigrant working for Parker Bros. made the suggestion or the change itself...

They are my "Ancient and Honorable Brush-Worn Partridge Huntin'" gloves and they have certainly seen a season or two...
