Interesting that the schnabel shaping is incorporated in the horn tip only.

John, do you know if it serves any purpose other than aesthetics only.

To illustrate what I am speaking of...

See below photo. Tip on left is from a V grade. Right is from a graded gun. Note the “schnable” on the tip of it. Or whatever you prefer to call it.

The lower tip is from a later graded gun where they did away with the “schnable” all together.
